This week marks the anniversaries of several noteworthy occasions.

In order of importance:

- Kev and I met/had our first date 7 years ago. SEVEN YEARS. Most marriages don’t last that long these days ;) To celebrate, we had dinner last night at Izakaya Den which was A GAZILLION times better than Sushi Den. I wanted to scream at all the people waiting in line for Sushi Den: “NO! Don’t wait for overhyped Sushi Den! Izakaya Den has the same quality sushi (same owners, so why wouldn’t they?) but better service! And no wait!” But then that would spoil it for everyone, wouldn’t it? I’ll just keep my little secret to myself.

- I started my job 5 years ago. Sometimes I can’t believe I am still here. But, it’s been going really well lately. I have a new boss and she is good. I now get FOUR weeks of paid vacation a year, plus the same 2 weeks of sick time. (I know, awesome!) And, I am about to do a little $$ negotiating. I just wish I had a window back here in my office! (wah.) It could definitely be worse.

- I started this blog 3 years ago. The absolute best thing about having this blog has been having a written record of the last 3 years of my life. How many people can remember what they were doing 2 years ago to the date? Not many. I love looking back and seeing what I’ve done and how I’ve grown. So many times I have wanted to throw in the towel, but then I remember: I write this thing for ME. I don’t make money from this blog, or have gobs of commenters. But that’s OK…rosalicious isn’t trying to be anything other than the online diary of little ol’ me.

So yeah, May seems to be a big month!
