Steven was given the Chief's Company award. The chief said that he chose the top five people who he wouldn't hesitate to take on a call with him at any time because they're the people who never stop thinking and are always willing to try something new.I'm so proud of Steven. It's been a long six months with the academy and Steven working full time and us living so far apart but he's worked really hard and having this out of the way is a huge accomplishment.
Unfortunately, we didn't take any pictures of us together (shoot! it was a sunny day and I had a cute skirt on and he was looking pretty darn good in his uniform... we just totally spaced on the photo opp.) but we got a few cute ones the next day so it's alright.
Sunday morning I took Steven out to brunch at Salty's on Alki to celebrate. I love going to Satlty's! I think I like the atmosphere more than anything but the food is quite good too. It was fun to take Steven there and the buffet was excellent!
I got to teach Steven how to crack crab legs. Of course this also means that I got to sit and watch as he played with the joints before attempting to crack and eat the crab.
Dessert!!! Seriously, I don't need to eat anything else. Just dessert. And I'm a happy camper. So tasty.
After Salty's we were off to see Cirque Du Soleil's Kooza!!
I got these tickets as a Christmas gift and it feels like we've been waiting SO long to get to use them! This was another new experience for Steven and even thought I loved the show and thought it was phenomenal I think I loved watching Steven's reaction even more.
We got there a little early...
The masks were hard to resist. Don't worry, we didn't play with the $200 ones... these ones were only $20 or $40 or something.
The show was fantastic and I can't wait to go again sometime. Thanks Steven for giving us a wonderful excuse to have a day of fun, fancy dates!! I'm so proud of you.
