My Sweet Man

Ok, for starters, I'm not sure why blogger is so fickle but I'm happy that I was finally able to change my background. Hopefully it won't give me that much trouble when I decide to change it again. Oh well...

It's been a few days...weeks...since I last posted. We've been so busy and quite frankly life hasn't been uber exciting. Its just been the normal everyday life stuff.

Tuesday (the 18th) was our 2nd wedding anniversary. Some moments it is hard to believe we've been married that long and other moments it seems like much longer. NOT IN A BAD WAY...don't get me wrong. It's more that I have a hard time remembering what my life was like when I wasn't married to Matt. Seriously...what was that like??

Anyway, we had tickets to the Pacers vs. Hawks game on Tuesday night. Heath was in town and staying with us so we three ventured into downtown to Conseco Fieldhouse for the event. Our seats were great and we also had access to the Locker Room Restaurant. Unbeknownst to me, Larry Bird is the GM for the Pacers. "WHAT??? Did she just say Larry Bird??" Yes, that would be THE Larry Bird. Now I'm not a huge NBA fan but even I can appreciate and recognize the greatness that Mr. Bird represents. So, because of our access and where Larry was sitting (right by the tunnel to the restaurant) we were able to get his autograph. I'm pretty sure Heath was overwhelmed and I'm completely sure that he was sweating profusely in his Contanza puffy coat. Matt tells the story that he MET Larry Bird. I don't think that "Thank you." and "You're welcome." REALLY constitute as a meeting (quite sure that names need to be involved to label it that, but who am I to spoil the fun?? : ) We then decided to get some food as the game wrapped up. (Yay Pacers for winning!!) We were able to watch the team head to the locker room and a few even came into the restaurant (and of course Heath got more autographs. Honestly, the more time I spend with him the more I wonder if they actually adapted the George character after him.) We and another big group of people ended up leaving the restaurant at about the same time and as we were about the step onto the elevator two of the men in the group started to argue. Now, if you know me well you know that I'm terrified of conflict and even more so if it has the potential to get physical. Well, these two were on the threshold of recreating a scene from Rocky and I was not about to be anywhere near that. I hid behind some stranger. The group got on the elevator. We got on another elevator. When we got to the main lobby sure enough Mr. Bigshot and The Punk (as I've now dubbed them) were outside trading punches...really mature, but that's what alcohol and arrogance will do for you. Of course Matt and Heath wanted to follow the action. By this time security guards were sprinting past us to break up the malay. You can also go HERE to read Heath's version of the story. Needless to say, I won't soon forget what we did on our 2nd anniversary. : )

Since our actual anniversary was on a Tuesday we had decided to celebrate the weekend after. Matt had been sneaking around making plans to which I was COMPLETELY clueless. I knew we were having dinner at the Melting Pot (LOVE that place) but after that I didn't know what our plans were. As it turns out he had booked us a room at Hotel Indigo. It's an amazing place. We had a great time just relaxing and not worrying about ONE SINGLE THING. He took care of every little detail and made it a wonderful little getaway. He gave me THIS and THIS and THESE. I gotta say my man knows the way to my heart...football and chocolate. : ) So, Matty I just have to say THANK YOU for EVERYTHING!! You made me fall even more in love with you. I pray we have a lifetime of those moments.

I'll post some pics from the game and dinner soon!
