two years!

two years ago on december 1st matt and i said our vows at heritage ranch in fairview, texas. fast forward to this year and we're living in columbus and trying to figure out what to do to celebrate....

two year anniversary

we eventually decided on a combination of dinner, movie and zoo. i know, you're thinking "zoo?!" but the columbus zoo is pretty awesome as far as zoos go (rated number one in the country), and i had never been. not to mention, i have a small affinity for christmas lights and the columbus zoo has a program every year called wildlights, where they decorate the whole zoo in thousands and thousands of christmas lights....amazing!
so we started the evening off with a free movie (thanks for the giftcards!) at the amc at easton (huge outdoor mall near our apartment). we saw planet 51, but neither of us were very impressed. it's certainly no shrek or the incredibles. then we walked around easton and enjoyed their spectacular luminary engineering (read: pretty christmas lights). we even stopped and splurged at the godiva store for some anniversary gifts for us....yum! after that we headed to the zoo. it was amazing! i don't think i've ever seen so many christmas lights in one place like that! and we even got to see some animals. i know, now you're thinking, "duh, you were at a zoo!" but i forgot to mention that while we were strolling around looking at the pretty christmas lights, it was a frigid 25 degrees outside. eek! yes, it was chilly, and considering most animals at zoos are from, well, warmer places i didn't know if we'd get to see any animals. but we did and they were a nice bonus ;)
after the zoo we went to olive garden for dinner and enjoyed the warm restaurant and tasty food. then we drove home and watched some movies. yay for fun anniversaries!

wildlights concert at the pond! sorry for the not-so-great video, i wasn't really prepared and didn't know how much memory it would take up, hence the two videos.
