Our Un-Expected Anniversary Get-Away

We celebrated our 15th anniversary yesterday and due to the lack of moola (please don't act surprised after my hubby has been out of job since December :), we didn't plan on going any where. We just told one another we would enjoy dinner out somewhere and enjoy each other's company. On Wednesday Jerry got a call from a friend of ours and he asked if we would be interested in having some gift certificates for Ruth's Chris Steak House??? They had received them as a gift and said they would never use them, so... Of course we said yes, so we were VERY excited about getting to go some where REALLY nice for our anniversary dinner!!! I would like to say a BIG thank you to those special friends of ours, that gave us these gift certificates, we owe you BIG time : ) They wanted to start our meal off with some complimentary champagne, but since we don't drink...it was Coke and Pink Lemonade on the rocks for us : ) Our meal was absolutely wonderful: New York Strip Steak, Stuffed Chicken Breast, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Creamy Spinach and House Salads. To top off the already awesome meal, they gave us a free dessert for our anniversary--Carrot Cake, some of our absolute favorite! We were sooo full we took the dessert with us to our hotel and enjoyed it before going to bed, it was AWESOME!!! It was topped with a cream cheese frosting and drizzled with a scruptous carmel topping, YUMMY! Speaking of hotels...we had planned on eating and coming straight home, but Jerry thought he'd do some Priceline shopping and see what kind of room he could get us. After placing a bid of under $50, for a $150 room, we won the bid!!! So instead of coming home, we spent the night in our cozy little room downtown Indy, YEA! Thanks honey for a wonderful, un-expected anniversary get-away, I had a wonderful time!

This is what it looking like when you entered
You would think for $150/night they could afford a headboard, HA!

  2. We stayed at the exact same hotel this past Monday on our anniversary! Our room was laid out exactly the same too! We also ate at Ruth's Chris! So funny that we both did the exact same thing!
