July 23, 2011... To start the day off we received a package from his parents. Inside the box were these glasses... A little "blast from our past"... Smurfs!! She gave me Smurfette and him Brainy.
After taking our time to get ready for the day and to figure out what we wanted to do before dinner at 7. We decided to take a little drive. I didn't know where exactly we were going I just knew we were going to see "some falls". He stopped on the side of the road to let me pick up Fredricksburg peaches! Mmmmm.... they were so ripe and delicious! They said they were organic. I didn't care, They Were GOOD!!! :)
We ended up at a winery for a good ole "wine tasting"... Texas Hill Country Winery. It was fun and they had some good wines. This was my souvenier for the day... It's a magnet.
After the winery we ended up at the Perdinales Falls. No falls since we are in a drought!! But we had fun seeing the birds (at a bird viewing spot they had), the camp sites, and the falls where the water would be. We climbed around and looked at the sites. We drove home and I took a nap to get rested for the next adventure of the day... Dinner! I wanted to be surprised (not common for me to want that) so he took the liberty to make the plans and arrangements. All I knew was... Wear Business Attire! He wouldn't tell me anything else. He rented a cab to take us there so he wouldn't have to drive in traffic and told the man the address not the place to keep it a secret. The man got us to downtown and near the place when he took the wrong street, so Chase told him the name and looked at me and said, "sorry". I still had no clue where it was or what it was so even if he had told me, I would have still been surprised. We ended up eating on the Riverwalk at a place called...
I honestly felt like I was VIP. We walked in the back entrance down a hall into the restaurant. We were greeted by the waitstaff who took us to our seats. They literally pulled out the table for us to get in the booth. Then they placed our menus in front of us and it wasn't the menu they gave everyone else... it was special. It was their menu but printed on paper and at the top was...
"Happy 1 Year Anniversary Mr. & Mrs. Murphy". Oh My Gosh I loved it (and Yes, I kept it to scrapbook)!! I looked at him and said "did you do this or how did they know?" He told me that they asked if it was a special occasion and he told them "Yes, it was our 1st Anniversary" when he set the reservation. He pointed out that on the appetizer they had "smoked salmon". He then told me that he wanted to take me back to a year ago on our honeymoon... have the same types of food and do similar things that we did from then. We went to wineries, hiked, ate organic foods, smoked salmon and cheesecake. So "that is why I picked this place to eat and why went to those specific places today and did what we did" he said. After dinner we walked the along the Riverwalk and later got a cab back home. It was special and I will say he Did an Amazing job on surprising me!!
I'll end this with the words to the song that played while we danced to our friends watching and singing this song as it played... One Year ago... It still makes me cry thinking of the moment and thinking of the friends singing it to us as we danced...
"You may think that I'm talkin' foolish, You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free. You may wonder how, I can promise you now, This love that I feel for you always will be. But you're not just time that I'm killing, I'm no longer one of those guys. As sure as I live, This love that I give, Is gonna be yours until the day that I die. Oh baby, I'm gonna love you forever. Forever and ever, amen. As long as old men sit and talk about the weather, As long as old women sit and talk about old men. If you wonder how long I'll be faithfull, I'll be happy to tell you again. I'm gonna love you forever and ever, Forever and ever, amen. They say time takes its toll on a body, Makes the young girls' brown hair turn grey. But honey, I don't care, I ain't in love with your hair, And if it all fell out, well I'd love you anyway. They say that time can play tricks on a memory. Make people forget things they knew, But it's easy to see, It's happening to me. I've already forgotten every woman but you. Oh darlin', I'm gonna love you forever. Forever and ever, amen. As long as old men sit and talk about the weather, As long as old women sit and talk about old men. If you wonder how long I'll be faithful, Just listen to how this song ends. I'm gonna love you forever and ever, Forever and ever, amen. I'm gonna love you forever and ever, Forever and ever, forever and ever, Forever and ever, amen"
by Randy Travis. Thank you for making such a beautiful song be our Favorite song Forever (ok, and Ever Amen)! :)
