Dinner for two...

Last Thursday was our 4th wedding anniversary. Ammon told me weeks ago that he wanted to make me dinner that night. He scored big points right there. #1 - He remembered. #2 - He had something planned. At that point, it didn't matter what he made...

The day came and Pap came to pick up the boys for a couple hours. Ammon said I wasn't allowed in the kitchen. I sat in the living room and flipped through my Family Fun magazine and my Martha Stewart Living magazine. I heard Ammon working in the kitchen and enjoyed the couple moments I had to myself. Finally he came to me, took my hand, and led me into the kitchen. On the table, was a beautiful meal. Hand-stuffed tortellini and a side of pineapple.


Gorgeous, right? After much praise, I took my first bite. Ammon watched me with a HUGE smile on his face. I told him that the sauce tasted like Taco Bell sauce. He said it was. And the filling tasted like refried beans, salsa, maybe onions, cheese etc... He nodded. The praise continued and he finally told me that he would let me look at the recipe. When I did, I was shocked that he remembered. All the ingredients came from Taco Bell! See, after we got married, our wedding party went to eat at Old Country Buffet but Ammon and I went off on our own. We stopped at a Taco Bell. Ammon had his tuxedo pants on and his tuxedo shirt unbuttoned and untucked. I looked a little less classy... I mean I had just gotten married so, my hair was beautiful and my makeup looked great but someone at the temple had taken my bag, leaving me no change of clothes. My brand new husband saved the day. I ended up wearing his plaid pajama pants and since I couldn't pull a shirt over my head due to my 'do (hehe), I put on one of his striped button down shirts. It was quite the outfit. Anyway - we ate at Taco Bell on the way back to the 'burg and Ammon remembered. 4 years later, still Taco Bell. But, Taco Bell with class!


Thanks babe! You did GREAT this year. Not sure how or if you're going to top it. Love you!

ps- if you're interested in the recipe, i'll get it from ammon and email it to you.

Yes, all you other men can hate me because I make you look bad.

And yes, all you other women can envy that your husbands aren't up to par.

But don't forget I'm humble too!

I was saying that it was nice when someone that you love is safe, and I feel that with you; that you're safe. Well done Ammon....
