Happy anniversary!! I hope you and Greg had a wonderful day. And those were some thoughtful gifts you got for him!
We want a full report about your dinner location (did you come up to SF??) and whether the restaurant had overhead recessed lights for optimum diamond performance.

Awww thanks everyone!!!
Greg done good for dinner....he took me to this steakhouse in Palo Alto (Sundance) where we actually had either our third or fourth date, we could not remember but we knew it was a long time ago. Anyhow, we totally remember that place because we had just started dating and he was joking how he thought I'd be some wacky California vegetarian...
and was happy to learn I was a meat-loving carnivore!! Also we had some other memories from that place, things we joked about, I even remember what he and I wore because when I met Greg he was a very stuffy East Coast dresser, and he used to show up for our dates in button down shirts and khakis!!
So the dinner itself was awesome, we haven't been back to that place since that date, don't know why but we have other fave steakhouses, but this dinner reminded us how amazing Sundance is as well! Crab cakes, clam chowder, wedge salad, steaks, mashed potatoes, veggies, creamed spinach, mud pie, coffee, port and icewine....lots of good conversation about our last two years as a married couple...what we've done together, where we are going together, many ring admiration breaks (it seemed like every time the wait staff came to check on us we were talking about my diamond or holding up my hand to the light...haha such dorks!)...load ourselves back into the car, drive home (I snooze peacefully on the way home of course).
Then we got home, opened our cards (his was uncharacteristically sweet...something about a rainbow of happiness i brought into his life!!
) and then he opened his new gift which he ADORES. He's been playing with it for the last hour and ignoring me...haha...men and their toys! So I of course took some more ring pictures.
Anyway now it's bedtime..and he says THANKS for all the great wishes from you guys on here!!
Oh and he brought me home a little bouquet of multi-colored roses which was really sweet. Of course I used them in my ring photo shoot.
Oh and the ring lighting in the restaurant was really interesting. The type of lights they had were so intense that the stone itself almost appeared a translucent BLACK but with colored sparkles inside, his small ACA did the same thing. I don't see that kind of effect often, so we were mesmerized.

Happy anniversary! It sounds like you had a great time. Two years goes by so quickly. I still remember when you were planning your wedding, hehe. The picture of Portia is just too precious. Many many more happy years together.

CONGRATULATIONS!
So Greg, when can we expect your first terrarium upgrade? ...I know you must have your eye on a nice live oak or sequoia.

Belated Anniversary wishes Mara, so glad you had a great day and a yummylicious dinner. Can''t beat good ol'' US beef!
Isn''t it amazing how quickly 2 years flies by. Hubby and I have been married almost 7 months, but time flies so quickly it feels like yesterday. Congrats Upgrade Queen and glad to see Portia joined in the fun too.
