Sixteen Months

Months on the wait list:


On our sixteen month waiting anniversary, we decided to head downtown right after work. Because the weather in San Antonio finally dropped below 70 degrees, we were excited to go for a walk on the river walk without breaking a sweat. It was actually pretty chilly so we thought it would be perfect to drink hot chocolate while we admired the Christmas lights. You would think that hot chocolate is easy to find, right? Wrong! We walked for an hour trying to find a place that sold hot chocolate. We checked the Chocolate Factory, Haagen-dazs shop, searched through many restaurant's menus, and could not even find a Starbucks...a Starbucks! As we were heading back to the car we noticed a small hole-in-the-wall ice cream shop with the most beautiful sign on the door.

"Warm up with rich & creamy Hot Chocolate!"
    Could this really be happening?


Yes, yes, yes!!!

We were so excited that we had our hot chocolate with marshmallows AND whipped cream, which ended up being way too sweet. (We still drank it though.)

We drank it by the river and watched the different river walk boats filled with families, people caroling, and Santa :).


We even made a couple of friends.



We ended the night with a delicious soup that was waiting for us in my Crockpot. 

Happy tummy = happy couple.

Happy sixteen months waiting!!!
