anthony + pearl

"Where are you guys going?"

"Home Depot"

"Yeah right...."

This was the exact conversation one evening as I escorted Pearl out of the Alpha Rho Chi house for our first date. A couple of brothers (some in the wedding) were playing poker and saw us leave. The funny thing is, we actually did go to Home Depot. Pearl had been doing some work to renovate the room she just moved into, and needed to pick up some more drywall to replace the ones she borrowed. I was driving a large truck at the time, so the first thing we did that evening was head over to Home Depot to load up some 4x8 sheets.

Afterwords was a bit of a blur, but Pearl assures me that we went to Cafe 50's, a diner in Santa Monica with great milkshakes, to cool down from the summer heat. Since then, we've managed to end up at Home Depot intentionally or by chance on every subsequent anniversary. This year will probably be an exception as we will be in London for our honeymoon.
