Today Was a Fairytale...

Ok, so today wasn't really a fairytale, but I'm a little behind on the blogging so just pretend it is last Thursday-Saturday. What was last Thursday-Saturday, you ask? Our 4 year anniversary weekend, of course! Because I started school on Thursday, we drug the celebration out as long as possible. After putting Lucy to bed, I made a DELICIOUS dinner consisting of...

Mediterranean Chicken Pasta Toss (I know it's hard to see the picture, but this salad consists of pasta, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, olives, Mediterranean salad blend, chicken, feta cheese, and a yummy homemade dressing.) Jeff rated this salad as his #2 favorite salad. (2nd to Ruth's Chris's house salad.)

The second coarse consisted of...

Peppered Beef Filets with Caramelized Onion Mashed Potatoes. I'm still shocked that I transformed this meal from raw ingredients into the scrumptious culinary delight that it was. We both agreed that it was one of the best meals we have ever eaten and the whole thing cost us about $20. And, I learned something in the process... who knew that Beef Tenderloin and Filet Mignon are the same thing??? (Lucy (and Memaw) surprised us with a yummy ice cream cake, but we were too stuffed to enjoy it after dinner. We have, however, thoroughly enjoyed it since.)

I would also like to point out that we finally used our beautiful china (Thanks Scooter).

While we ate dinner, we sent each other clues via picture messages. (We are a little iPhone crazy over here.) I guessed mine on the first clue...

Jeff's plans for the weekend included spending Friday night here, The Mansion on Forsyth Park, in Savannah. Also were we spent our 1st anniversary.

A 4-course dinner at 700 Drayton (My salad moved to Jeff 3rd favorite salad after he ate theirs.)

A moonlight cruise on the Savannah River where we met this guy...

In case you can't tell that is Andy Griffith and Barney Phyfe covering the back of a t-shirt. I was hoping to get a better picture when the dancing began, but this man hugged the side of the railing for the duration of the cruise so I think he was feeling a little too sick to dance.

We also met new Words with Friends partners; a couple celebrating their 5th anniversary. (If you don't know what Words with Friends is, please follow these directions.

1. Buy iPhone or iTouch

2. Download FREE "Words with Friends" app

3. Start a game with Jpruitt10 or laurenprutt (I am, in fact, laurenprutt. Unfortunately my husband doesn't know how to spell my name.)

On Saturday, a special friend was waiting for us at our hotel...

A big horse and his driver (I can't remember their names, but the driver had very long hair.)

After our private carriage ride, we took a trolley tour around Savannah, rode through a cemetery (guess whose idea this was), and took a nap while riding to Tybee Island. (Jeff drove, I napped.) After a very HOT day of playing tourist, we enjoyed a delicious meal with this Lady...

What was Jeff's gift, you ask???

Tickets to Brookhills' Secret Church lead by David Platt... one of his favorite worship speakers and authors. He has to wait a little while to actually get his gift because it's not until November, so stay tuned. (It took him 2 and a half clues.)
