3 Years?? Just a Drop in the Bucket

This is a tribute to Molly Bethans. Since we have been together Molly has always insisted that I surprise her whenever possible. As hard as I try I have never been able to keep a secret from her and that includes all the gifts/nice things I try to do for her. But I think I finally did it right and yesterday was a great day! Our anniversary celebration started off with Molly sneaking out of bed when I was getting ready for school and cooking a nice hot breakfast without me even knowing it. Even though it was 6:30am and the sun was just coming up she made it a candle light breakfast. Molly-1 K.C.-0 She beat me to it, but I loved it!!



So then it was my turn to get her back. I left school around lunch time and she was expecting me to come home around 5. I made a quick trip to get some flowers and chocolates and then did a knock and run at our apartment. Surprise #1 = a success. I snuck in a few minutes later and then we had the rest of the day to have fun.


I had called a few weeks back and reserved a spot at this excellent place in the Berkeley Marina called Skates on the Bay. You have to cross a little bridge to get in cause the restaurant literally sits right in the bay. It was delicious...you must go and eat there! Molly will claim that she knew I was going to take here there but she had no idea until we were almost to the place. Surprise #2 = success.

It was very windy after dinner when we walked out to the end of the pier and back.

It was an amazing day, definitely one for the books. Hopefully I've learned my lesson on how to keep and finally execute a decent surprise. And to my gorgeous wife...You're the best, I love you.
