Date Night
Heyyyy 😀 How are you?? Thank you so much for all of the beautiful anniversary wishes. It was a great day 😀 I took the night off blogging to celebrate with this guy….
Swooning allowed… and necessary 😀
He took me to Two Friends for dinner, which was the first restaurant we ate at 3 years ago, when I was forced to live in we moved to Valdosta.
Celebratory bubbly:
For an appetizer, we shared Portobello mushrooms with goat cheese, scallions and balsamic reduction
(Smoky, salty and satisfying)
and the pilot also enjoyed a flatbread with bacon, bleu cheese and roasted pecans.
For my entree, I rolled with the tilapia with lemon herb vinaigrette and asparagus sans bread crumbs.
It was cooked PERFECTLY. It’s a fine dance between undercooked and too dry when it comes to fish, and the exec cheffer has it nailed. The lemon herb vinaigrette wasn’t the slightest bit oily, either- fresh and aromatic.
The pilot chose tortellini, which had shredded beef, local peaches, chipotle sauce, cheese and jalapenos.
He said it was one of the best things he’s ever eaten.
Cheers:
(we always clinky our forks before feasting)
And then there was this….
Bread pudding with butter bourbon sauce.
I’m pretty sure if you Google “foodgasm”, that’s the first thing to come up 😉
There was also some of this….
it was a good night 😀
The plan for today:
-Bfast and walk the puppers
-Something I’m working on for the squadron
-Train clients
-Meet Michele for juice
-Make dinner (PIZZZAAAAA)
-Blog
-TurboFire
I’m out!
See ya later today, friends <3
xoxo,
Gina

I’m so glad you had a wonderful 3rd anniversary dinner. I’m about to celebrate 2 years of marital bliss next weekend, very exciting! I can’t wait to try this workout, looks like a kick butt workout.
Happy anniversary!! It looks like such a wonderful dinner…and I’m sure whatever was in that box was fabulous 🙂 THANK YOU time 1000 for sharing your bootcamp routine. I’m trying to incorporate more strength training, and plans like that are a Godsend!! Hope you have a wonderful day!!
your anniversary dinner looks amazing! 🙂
this work looks tiring! I’m going to print it out and try it! thanks!!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! Many many more happy years ahead of you!!

I was just trying to plan my workout for this morning and didnt want to do the same old thing! PERFECT!
Congrats on your anny, dinner looked amazing!
What a perfect date night! 🙂
what did ya get???? =) also.. i noticed in your wedding pictures you wore your hair down… i really want to wear mine down for mine as well, but I fear it will look disgusting by the time the reception starts!!! i have thick hair and a lot of it… thoughts? thanks 🙂 p.s. my wedding day is the beginning of may and i live in ny.. so i don’t expect it to be blistering hot.
i think you should be fine! i had it done a few hours before and the curls were a little tighter than i wanted them to be, so when they loosened a little it was perfect and lasted all night
aw sounds like a perfect evening!!! I’m not married, but this december is our 3 years of being together, its quite exciting to me.
Glad you had a wonderful date night!

What a great anniversary for you two. Thank you for letting me swoon over the pilot 😉 He seems like such a great man.
The workout seems like it will kick me in the booty, but if I’m not tired after 12 1/2 hours of nannying, I’m going for it!
Or I’ll just wait until tomorrow 😉
Thanks for the awesome boot camp notes! Glad y’all had a happy anniversary. 🙂
So sweet! I love the fork clinking! 🙂
Looks like a great evening! What was in the box???
I love that you guys clink your forks! Looks like a great restaurant- special occasion dinners are the best. 🙂
You 2 are one of the most adorable couples I “know”! I think it’s so cute that you clinky your forks before eating. Glad you had a great anniversary! 🙂
Ah the suspense!! I’m sure whatever he got you was beautiful and awesome 🙂
My two kids (17mo &4) always clink forks before eating, haha. It cracks me up everytime 🙂
Glad you guys had a lovely anniversary!!
Dear Fitnessista, you are such a tease! I want to see what’s in that red box!!! 😉
So glad you guys had a great anniversary dinner! I love that you clink forks before eating. Adorable!
What a fun night! And that pizza + bread pudding (one of my all time favorite desserts) = yum 🙂
Happy anneversary!! Looks like you guys had a great dinner! I acutally made fish with a lemon vinaigrette last night for dinner… VEIRD! Link below if you wanna check out our feast 😉

Date night looked like fun!You guys are so sweet and cute! What a darling couple you are.Bread pudding mmmmmmm.
**On another note….I found an awesome deal on Sun Warrior 3 pack (I know you love it) if you want the link let me know. I didnt want to post it here unless you were cool with that.
Congratulations! Y’all are so cute.
And on a side note, the pilot looks almost exactly like my Grandpa (back when my Grandpa was in his 20s). It should also be noted that my Grandpa made some beautiful kids who made pretty great grandkids 😉
you and the pilot are so cute!!! And love the bootcamp it is set up just like Jullian michaels 30 day-shred love the quickness. She was killing me today, doing jumping jacks with weights ahah
Looks like an awesome dinner… 🙂
Jason and I always “clink” before we eat… even if it’s sandwiches we’re holding – we clink the sandwiches together 🙂
You guys are soo cute 🙂 and that bread pudding makes me hungry hehe.
The bootcamp looks killer. I just signed up for a 6 week bootcamp and I’m hoping it’s as fun as yours looks….sadly I need the competition..err I mean moral support (ya that’s it) to keep me from slacking or I would just do yours 🙂
Omg I just started sobbing when I read this. I have no idea why! I am soooo happy for you guys, probably!! 🙂 And feeling a lil emotional as Scott’s been gone alot but have kept that on the downlow.
Anyhoo….
Ok the gift. So happy for you 🙂 Wear it proudly as I know you will!
Bread pudding with butter bourbon sauce = omg. I have a recipe for Vegan Bananas foster. Pretty much anything with buttery alcoholic sauce is beyond amazing in my words! I LOVE alcoholic desserts, there, I said it 🙂 I actually posted on my site yesterday about buttery nipple shots. God, I love them LOL
As for the clinking forks, that is too cute! And I am just saying this as a woman who’s been married 10 years and with Scott 12 (not hitting on your man LOL) but the Pilot is looking damn good in that 1st picture 🙂 One day you two are going to produce some supermodels together 🙂
Love this post, Gina!
Happy Anniversary, again, and here’s to another 75!!
xoxo
🙂
smiley overload in the above comment…whoops 🙂
Looks like a sweet heart pumping workout 🙂
Looks like a fabulous date night. Although…I do want to know what was in the pretty box with the ribbon. 😉
I bet that workout is a good one. You always come up with great stuff.
You’re doing REALLY well with your new camera. Most people have a much harder time learning to take nice photos with a DSLR. Good job!
thank you! that means a lot to me because i feel like i still have no idea how to use it 🙂
Well, I’m a professional photographer and I think you’re doing great, especially since you haven’t been shooting very long. Keep at it! 🙂
thank you! <3
Glad you had a great anniversary dinner, looks so special!
Can’t wait to try that workout 😀
xo
