A day late and a dollar short

Well it's actually a lot more than a dollar short, more on that later. Yesterday was our 7 year anniversary! I cannot believe it's been 7 years since we got married in Austin, TX. I remember it rained in the morning and then cleared up right before the wedding started. Someone told me that day that if it rains on your wedding day you will be rich. To bad Mississippi doesn't have the lottery. Last night Martin & Linda came over to watch the kids so we could go out to dinner. We went to, Jia, which is a Japanese restaurant (Teppanyaki/Hibachi) in one of the local casinos (Beau Rivage). One of my favorite places to eat. We got a table all to ourselves so we got a little extra food. It was so incredibly good. After dinner we decided to gamble with the little bit of money we brought. We walked all over trying to find the 25 cent Wheel of Fortune only to find out they had changed it to dollar Wheel of Fortune. So I played the 50 cent one. I turned 20 bucks into 80! That gave us enough to play the cheapest Blackjack table. We really want to find a $5 table but they didn't have any. So we opted for the single deck $10 table. We made a fairly good run of it. At one point we were probably up like fifty dollars. But we were having fun so of course we ended up losing $100. All in all we only lost $4o of our own money (since I had won $60). After Blackjack we sat down at one of the bars so I could finish my drink. They were having a promotion with girls walking around offering free t-shirts if you bought one of the Cabo Wabo margaritas for $3. It's a good price for a margarita and I wanted a free t-shirt so Jason got one. They had to take our picture holding the drink and the t-shirt so I'm sure we'll end up on their website. I had one of the girls take our picture with my camera as well. We had a great time.
Happy Anniversary Honey, I love you!!!

Can't remember the morning rain but do remember it being rainy until right before the wedding was to begin and the weather magically cleared.

Sound like you had a great time celebrating your anniversary!!
