On Saturday we woke up and decided to do something fun. It was supposed to be warmer then our usual and we wanted to take full advantage of it. We woke up, made breakfast and hit the road at 10am.
We took a drive down state to check out one of our local vineyards for some wine tasting. On the way down we stopped at a knife store so he could let out his inner guy and get something cool. We bumped into one of his soldiers which was funny because he keeps his work and his personal life very separated. It's about time his coworkers know about me :)
Once we finished up there we were hungry so we decided to look for some Mexican food. Google maps did an epic fail and led me nowhere near the restaurant we were looking for. On our adventure trying to find it, we ran across a place called "A touch of Italy." With both of us being Italian and me being a lover of all things Italian in the kitchen, we walked in. I instantly fell in love. They had legit Italian meats and cheeses in the deli section, real Italian wines at the bar, and REAL Italian chefs in the back. I ordered a chicken parm meal and so did he. Swoon. It was amazing and I am VERY picky about Italian food since I make most of it myself. Once we were finished licking our plates, he did the one thing that sold me on our relationship. Hook, line and sinker. He ordered me a cannoli. I judge every Italian restaurant by their cannoli's. If it's a legit Italian place, they will have real, crunchy shell, chocolate chips in their cream, cannoli's. Not only did he order me this, he knew he scored major brownie points while doing so and he did it with the cutest, cheesiest grin.
Ladies and gentleman, I have found my favorite Italian restaurant and it happened out of accident. And I may have found my favorite guy in the history of ever.
Once we were in a food coma, we went to the vineyard. We had some good tastings, ordered a couple of bottles and chatted the ladies up. They saw his tattoo and started talking about the military and this upcoming deployment. It really put me in the moment. Soaking up these amazing memories with my love and really being in the moment. It was completely unexpected.
Then we went home, drank our wine, and sat in a food/wine coma on the couch for the rest of the evening.
I seriously love that man.
