2 year anniversary - 6/12/2012

As most of you know, Jon has a crazy busy work week that is mostly unpredictable.  Although I love planning, I've become flexible when actually celebrating special days together.  For instance, our 2nd year anniversary fell on a Tuesday this year so we agreed to celebrate the following Sunday.  Jon took me to dinner at Minetta Tavern, a NYC favorite, open since 1937. 

The Michelin-rated restaurant has not become overpriced but is hard to get into (reservations have to be made far in advance).  I tried bone marrow for the very first time...delish!

Jon surprised me with ruby earrings!  I didn't realize how hard they are to come by these days since the US has imposed a trade embargo on Myanmar (formerly Burma), - the origination/mining of these precious gems -  since 2008 for many good reasons.

Since our bond will always surpass material things, it made me think of this verse:
Proverbs 31:10-12 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.  Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life."
