(Low or High, Take Your Pick) Class is Now in Session

Last Saturday was our 6th wedding anniversary, and accordingly, we decided to celebrate in 6th-anniversary style. So to the big city of Portland we went. The Benson Hotel awaited!

We drove straight from the coast, so we were sandy, sundrenched and not exactly at our cleanest to begin with. Nick and I made that even worse by going to Dairy Queen first. Why can't I keep Georgia Mud Fudge in my mouth and not on my shirt?!?!

The hotel lobby was amazingly beautiful. There was valet parking (neither Nick nor I were exactly sure how to use this rich-person staple -- take that, all you high schoolers who mocked me for being something I never was!). As we checked in, the concierge said, "Enjoy your honeymoon package!" Oh right....I forgot we booked that INSTEAD of the anniversary package, because it was a little cheaper....I looked down at my stained maternity top....

We came straight from the nearest trailer park, sir.


Low-class though we may be, we still walked into THIS....

And this...





All that romance I suppose, is how I got here....



But at any rate, as long as I'm with Nickolas, I'm like this....


That evening, we went to a concert just outside of Portland where I am positive that I was the only woman wearing a bra. Or who possibly owned a razor.
At a late dinner afterward, the waitress asked us if we wanted one check or two.

Will we ever look old enough for people to think we're actually married and not dating? Maybe at our 20th???

  1. That is the BEST post Crystal - how hilarious!!!!

    What about coming over next Wednesday night? Say 6pm??? I've gotta double check that date with Mike, but I think it should work great!

  2. Okay...after our long and wonderful day together, Mike and I tackled many things including our schedule.

    (we're not the best communicators)

    We're wondering if Tuesday could work instead? We are going camping on Thursday and Mike reminded me that we will need to be packing Wednesday night.

    If that doesn't work, we'll have to pick one of the nights the next week. Might invite Jill and Shane too, cuz we have been wanting to have them over too.

  3. Crystal, you're funny! At least when you look back on this a few years down the road, you'll have a good laugh at this night :-) Glad you were able to get away for some new experiences and some alone time.
