We discussed it. At length. I mean - for real - we talked about it for days. We weren't sure what to do. We checked out Cuisine.co.nz and Metro magazine's Top 50 Restaurants 2008 issue. This only added to the confusion because there are tons of amazing restaurants here, depending on what kind of celebration we wanted. We finally agreed on some key points:
1. celebrating on the actual day sucks because I have school the next day and Iain has work
2. celebrating the Saturday night before might've worked if we'd gotten on the ball sooner and made reservations in time
3. a quiet romantic meal on the weekend is nice but hanging out during the day when everyone else is at work is FUN
I have off next Monday and Tuesday, so Iain is going to take a vacation day. We're going to celebrate our anniversary a week early by taking the bus into town on Monday for drinks overlooking the harbor followed by a long, leisurely lunch in Herne Bay (a cool neighborhood next to Ponsonby - an even cooler neighborhood). I cannot wait.
We're going to a place called Andiamo (http://www.andiamo.co.nz). We had a drink at Andiamo back in 2005 when Iain brought me to New Zealand for the first time. We'd just come from dinner with our friend Toni and stopped in while walking back to our motel. I always thought it would be a neat idea to go back there - a "we've come full circle" sorta thing. I mentioned this to Iain ("Isn't that so cool? Don't you remember having a drink there??") who had no idea what I was referring to, but said, "I'll take your word for it..."
Here is a disgustingly cute picture of the cats, taken this morning.

You only have yourself to blame for getting married on a Tuesday.
