So Steve and I celebrated 7 years of marriage on the 12th of this month. This year has been one of many doozies, but probably the most trying of our marriage yet. But we made it through, and to think, if we can make it through that, plus all of everything else we've made it through, then I think we can make it through anything!

Here's how we celebrated the night
Dinner Theatre at The Old Spaghetti Factory
with
A Christmas Carol
Waiting for the show to begin
"The Outtake" (Steve's going to kill me for posting this!) But hey, it's hard taking the picture yourself (and I think I look worse!)!
Ah, that's better! Love this one!
"The Spirits" sang Christmas carols before the show and during intermissions by request. I requested "White Christmas" therefor got serenaded by this guy
And yes, he was sweating bullets ALL night! You'd think he was the "Ghost of Christmas Present" right?.... WRONG! Apparently he's the "Ghost of Christmas Past"
Subsequently, Steve also got serenaded by the real "Ghost of Christmas Present"
(sorry, it was really dark in there!) She's the one on the right in the red dress. I don't think Steve felt too special though since she was singing to ALL the guys. AND running her fingers through their hair, quite the character if you ask me!
Some more of the characters that came and talked to our table
"Belle" and those two girls shared the table with us. They were also with a guy, all loud, a little obnoxious and, I believe, high schoolers
"Jacob Marley"
I didn't get too many pictures of the actual show, because we were so close I thought it would be distracting. But we did get an actual "shout out" during the show for our anniversary, and some mistletoe held over us. I did not think Steve would comply with a kiss (not a fan of any form of PDA), but he surprised me!
As we were leaving, I was able to get a picture of most of the cast
L to R: One of the "Charity Gentlemen", "Belle", "Scrooge", "Ghost of Christmas Present", "Marley" and "Charles Dickens" who narrated
I think I had a lot more fun than Steve, but I did catch him smiling from time to time. And what made it better was there was another family at our table, and the husband looked even less thrilled than Steve to be there! At least he didn't get asked to be part of the show, forgot to mention that Steve did, but he of course declined and passed it along to said gentleman, who then passed it on to the high school boy also at our table, who willingly obliged!
Happy anniversary honey! Here's to many, many more!!
