Caribbean-seasoned bouillon, and the flaming turtle for the chocolate fondue. It was called the flaming turtle because they make it with milk chocolate, caramel and chopped pecans. Then they flambé the fondue right at your table. It's pretty cool. You can kind of see the flame in this picture.
We had a great time cooking the food, eating it and just hanging out together.
Here's a couple of things that I love and appreciate about Nels and why I am so happy that we are married.
I love how Nels still opens the car door, front door, any door for me, no matter where we are or where we are going. He's still a gentleman.
Nels is always telling me how beautiful I am and how much he loves me. I think he's told me at least one or both of those things every day.
For the past two years, Nels has made me pancakes every Sunday and every time I ask nicely for them. : )
He's kept his promise of keeping the freezer stocked with ice cream.
Nels writes little love notes to me and puts them in my lunch sack. I have a big stack of them that I have collected over the years.
Well, these are little things, but they sure do mean a lot to me. I'm looking forward to the next five years and I hope we can make them as memorable as the last five.
Then Cindy and Jen took me out to eat lunch. I ate a lot of sweets that day. The best news came after lunch when Nels gave me a call and said that he was given a job offer from International Paper and the position is in Indianapolis. Yippee! So that's our big news. We're moving really soon and we're both way excited. That's why I haven't updated in a while. We decided to rent an apartment instead of buying a house because we may be moved to a different location after two years. (Nels' position is part of a leadership development program.) So we found a cute apartment that is 12-15 minutes from Nels' work. I'll take pictures once we get all moved in.
