Our 9th Anniversary

This post is a little late, but better late than never.  Our anniversary was in the middle of the week this year, which meant that we both had to work.  We exchanged gifts and went out for dinner at Lorenzo's Trattoria.  The past three years for our anniversary we've had dinner at one the the restaurants in St.Louis' Italian district.  There are so many good restaurants there!

I gave James a new leather briefcase to carry to and from work.  He received a black canvas bag from Ameren when he started working there, and it was starting to look worn.  I found this one at Overstock.  The white that you see in the photo is just paper that was wrapped around the buckles to protect them during shipment. 

After traveling to Haiti and having to leave my wedding ring at home for fear of losing it, I wanted a wedding band that was not costly that I could wear places I didn't want to wear my original ring.  James gave me this band.  It is made out of tungsten.  I really like it.  James also gave me a bouquet of flowers.
