On May 20th, Sam and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary. Our first year has been amazing. Full of many many happy days and exciting times as well as the hard lessons that are a part of every couple's first year. One thing we have definitely done is go on a LOT of dates. As you know, since we have documented many of them. So for this special occasion, Sam planned a truly wonderful date.</div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One thing we recommend to couples who are about to get married is to schedule some time to relax after the wedding.

It's the historic gem of Tulsa hotels. </span></b></div>

This super fancy restaurant opened up on Cherry Street when we were in college. They have 5 dollar burgers on Monday nights (meaning that's the only time we could afford to go). Until Sam's parents took us there for his birthday this year, we had never had their other food. </div>

The traditional one year anniversary gift is paper. I don't know what I did before Pinterest. I found <a href="http://www.mykidseatcandy.com/2011/09/write-of-passage.html" target="_blank">this journal</a> there and thought it would perfect. It was both meaningful and made of paper. For the final product I ended up combining the original idea with a photo journal that <a href="http://www.abeautifulmess.com/2013/05/how-to-make-a-photo-covered-journal.html" target="_blank">Elsie</a> made. We spent the next morning at <a href="http://topecacoffee.com/shops/" target="_blank">topeca</a> recording all our thoughts about our first anniversary. With a cappucino of course. </div>

I kept dropping hints about going on a date all weekend. We were busy every single night starting on Wednesday of last week and I knew it probably wouldn't happen. During church I realized that we had all of Sunday afternoon free! I mentioned this to Sam, to which he suggested that I plan a date. So I planned this one in about ten minutes.</div>

A few weeks ago I was feeling a little under the weather. I had seen <a href="http://www.eatliverun.com/about/" target="_blank">Jenna</a> eat this soup called pho when she had a cold so I thought I would give it a try too. Oh my goodness, y'all. It's amazing. In the last three weeks I think I have convinced myself that I don't feel well just so I have an excuse to order this delicious meal again. It's almost like Mexican inspired Asian soup. Which now sounds weird. But try it. You'll understand. </div>

This is the (mostly) true story of Jackie Robinson's historic entrance into major league baseball. On top of the baseball, history, and civil rights goodness, Harrison Ford plays a feisty old Methodist general manager and civil rights activist.

Originally, Sam wanted to do an outside date this weekend. Then dreary, cold, Saturday happened. So he decided it was best to keep me happy and warm and we did a lot of fun things inside! I realize that the picture indicates otherwise, but a few minutes outside was far preferable to a few hours as per the original plans.</div>

Even though I don't like sweet things usually, gelato is one of my all time favorite desserts. I always get stracciatella (italian vanilla). But I like to pair it with something creamy, like chocolate. This time I got the pistachio as well. It was one of the best things I have ever eaten.<br />

Philbrook used to be the family home of the Phillips, legendary Tulsa oil mavens. Today, it's a museum and as spectacular as the art is on the inside, the gardens are what everyone comes to see. On this particular day, a wedding was being set up for that evening. In addition to kicking myself for not even thinking of getting married here, I could not stop staring at the beautiful set up. I almost volunteered to help the florist. </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3JxU8-hkjoqoZXKNl3YIKeD96TNOytUvhJHw4HmGeMmpP0EqSM7gqOtuh5yUE-B-iIO3Kb6GHQz1YsHqo-SsKVhMRJcGuCZp1UAlmrocaS3Yr-zefEWKCvfzxEOSEignx4twcTUfTthc/s1600/IMG_0457.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3JxU8-hkjoqoZXKNl3YIKeD96TNOytUvhJHw4HmGeMmpP0EqSM7gqOtuh5yUE-B-iIO3Kb6GHQz1YsHqo-SsKVhMRJcGuCZp1UAlmrocaS3Yr-zefEWKCvfzxEOSEignx4twcTUfTthc/s640/IMG_0457.jpg" width="640" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMbb3tWT4DsK1232MV9W3D1Ni5KZzYvRVts5ExYIfma-QjL8gc9d-_M5IAMn12Qw3w-8UdW4GthE5Aqj3oVEDvDT2AloJkMrDps6VZ48dsLbbMJM6OUcNoZ9mOQ1Cz_GBT4KvI9dMKOn8/s1600/IMG_0468.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMbb3tWT4DsK1232MV9W3D1Ni5KZzYvRVts5ExYIfma-QjL8gc9d-_M5IAMn12Qw3w-8UdW4GthE5Aqj3oVEDvDT2AloJkMrDps6VZ48dsLbbMJM6OUcNoZ9mOQ1Cz_GBT4KvI9dMKOn8/s640/IMG_0468.jpg" width="640" /></a>shirt. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008O3H5J4/ref=asc_df_B008O3H5J42494490?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B008O3H5J4&tag=wwwshopstylec-20&ascsubtag=695578953" target="_blank">similar here</a></div>

Our Saturday morning started off much different than it usually does. We ran in the Color Run! It is just a 5K, but it was the first race that either of us had run. It was one of the most fun things that we have done as a couple. </div>

Runners are supposed to wear white, and as the race progresses volunteers throw powdered paint on the runners, hence the name, Color Run. It reminded me so much of <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2013/03/holi-2013-the-festival-of-colors/100483/" target="_blank">Holi</a>, the spring festival in India. </div>

After finally getting all the paint out of our hair, we had an afternoon date. We got coffee at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ThePhoenixTulsa" target="_blank">the phoenix</a>, our new favorite coffee house. We then headed downtown to spend a little quiet time at <a href="http://www.guthriegreen.com/" target="_blank">guthrie green</a>, a park in the middle of the Brady Arts District of Tulsa. We were surprised to discover that a concert was happening at the park, but it made the trip that much better.<br />

One of the problems with studying abroad in Italy is that I began to be really picky about eating Italian food. There are a few places in Tulsa that I think makes real Italian style quality food.

We sit on the lawn at every Driller's game. It's only 5 dollars, you can bring your own blanket and picnic basket full of food, and every once in awhile you may get close to catching a home run ball. This particular night was no different. We loaded up the cars with blankets and headed to the ballpark. However, on our way to the game, this sweet older couple stopped us and asked if we would like free tickets right behind home plate.<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We ran into a few friends out taking pictures for their wedding, which is coming up really soon!

There's this thing called rally hats. They are used when your team is either losing or tied at the end of a game as an effort to rally them to a win. Basically it just means you wear your hat inside out. We didn't have hats on Friday but we did have free bags at each seat. So, rally sacks they were. And although we did not make it on the big screen for our creativity, the team did win with a walk off hit. So it was worth something.</div>

<span style="text-align: center;">We had a whirlwind weekend. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Friday night we went to the <a href="http://ink361.com/#!/tag/coyewedding" target="_blank">wedding</a> of a truly beautiful couple. The invitation directed us to the Jazz Hall of Fame and I was expecting a night inside. Instead, the wedding was held on the rooftop. Imagine downtown Tulsa at sunset and the most beautiful wedding gown you have ever seen. It was breathtaking. You should check it out for yourself once the talented <a href="http://brettheidebrecht.com/" target="_blank">Brett Heidebrecht</a> posts them to his website!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>My favorite place in the world is Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. I think this was decided for me the first time I walked in. My dad took my brother and me down from Oklahoma for a game when I was 5 or 6 and we got to see Rusty Greer, Mickey Tettleton, and all those old guys. Call it a "Field Of Dreams" moment or whatever you want, but RBIA holds something special for me. I take every chance I get to catch a game there. </b></span></div>

Josh Hamilton was a Ranger through and through, inspiration come-back-from-drugs-get-saved-hit-lots-of-home-runs story and all. Until he signed for lots of money with the Angels. This was his first weekend in Arlington as a visitor and he received plenty of boos. My wife thought it was a riot to rag on him. </b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">My roommate through all of college, Kylie, (also known as rooms slash bestie till we're 40) bought us the greatest Christmas present: an entire weekend with her plus Rangers baseball. It was so wonderful. We cheered and booed (see above) and ate way too many sunflower seeds. She is one of the only girls I know who loves sports as much as I do (and knows more about them too). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sam and I love this place in Dallas called Glorias. It's El Salvadoran, which essentially means Mexican in Texas, but they bring you black bean dip for you chips.

Sam is from Austin. One of the coolest things about Austin is its abundance of activities involving water. My personal favorite is what natives call Town Lake. It's essentially just a river, but the kayaking, stand up paddle boarding, and trails along its banks make it one of the more happening places in the city.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tulsa's got something similar, though Mayor Bartlett is working on increasing the water to sand ratio. It's still a really pretty place to take a walk or bike ride all the way down Riverside. </span></b></div>

I wore this outfit because of two friends named Katie. The first told me that she loved my skirt and that I should wear it on our date. The second told me that she didn't know if she liked stripes and patterns together. So this is me showing her you can do it. It may not be in style, but no one said anything about it.

Our besties, <a href="http://thepaulisons.weebly.com/" target="_blank">Alex and Mary</a> are moving to Italy to be missionaries. When we knew that they would be moving out of their precious house right around the time we wanted to be out of ours, the timing seemed perfect. It was. Next month we are moving into a new home! We are so excited about the fully updated house with everything we've dreamed of (read: laundry inside the house). Sam had the greatest idea to sketch out what what we want it to look like when we get in there.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Two of our good friends, John and Katie, just got engaged a few weeks ago. They were gracious enough to go on a double date with us. Since John is the current TU Student Association president and Katie is the potential future of that position, a TU basketball game seemed like the perfect venue for our date.</b></span></div>

Although the game didn't end up quite the way we hoped it would, it was a really great change of pace from our usual dates. We even had popcorn and nachos as a pre meal snack!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
After the game we went to White Owl Pub for dinner. I had it in my food passport and had been wanting to try it for the longest time. We were not disappointed. The restaurant is way larger than I expected too. There's even an upstairs!</div>

I knew that this food passport could be incredibly useful to help us choose restaurants for dates. The girl over at <a href="http://thespottedfox.com/diy-projects/diy-valentine-food-passport" target="_blank">Spotted Fox</a> who came up with it used 52 different places so as to fill up the whole year. We probably won't use it like that, but it is a great way to organize the restaurants we want to visit. It's full of local Tulsa places we know and love but I also included restaurants we've been meaning to try.</div>

But we still had a ton of fun setting up a little dessert picnic on the back porch of our house. It's the first time we've ever used the porch.<br />

Our date this weekend was pretty laid back. Sam has to fly around the world this week so a chill date was just what we needed.<br />

One of our very favorite places in Tulsa is Red Rock Canyon. If you have been reading this blog you probably noticed we aren't usually fans of chain restaurants. Although they have their place, we generally like unique locations. Red Rock Canyon is one of the exceptions. All of their food is super fresh and the atmosphere is fancy without being stuffy. When you go, splurge on an appetizer and get the calamari (it's better than ANY calamari we've ever had). And don't even look at the rest of the menu, ORDER THE ENCHILADAS. I couldn't get a picture that did them justice, but trust us. They are incredible.<br />

Like we said, it was laid back this week. After dinner we went to a grocery store and grabbed some delicious popcorn and root beer. I had never made this kind of popcorn before but it was really fun. Put some special seasoning on it, and it's better than the movies!</div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I haven't really been holding up my end of this blog. Jordan has been doing basically all the work. So I finally decided I'd contribute in a more meaningful way. </span></b></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A friend at work asked me a good question. I don't think he really wanted an answer, but it got me thinking. He asked me, "What counts as a date?" Now that's an awesome question. Every relationship counselor, pastor, or super old married couple would tell you that it's important to have a date night, especially even after you're married. So, since we are self-proclaimed Date Bloggers, I thought it would only be fitting to put forth a Dating Manifesto. </span></b></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Now I'm talking to you, men. Your girl needs to know you think about her. A lot. You can prove this in lots of ways, but what will really pack an emotional punch is if she knows that when you pick her up and take her out, you have a plan. This shows her the date is more than a duty or an expectation, but rather something you're really looking forward to throughout your week! </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So plan. Plan an elaborate date that goes all wrong (been there), plan a simple, relaxing date (we're there a lot), plan a spontaneous date (we'll never be fully there unless I have some personality altering brain trauma). She will not feel special/pretty/loved on your date if she knows you gave no thought to the event beforehand, but she will feel extremely loved if she knows you gave the date some meaningful musings beforehand. </span></b><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Jordan's helping me out with this post: </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I turn to her and ask, "What else does a date need to have, other than being special, and being planned?" </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Without hesitation she sheepishly responds, "Food...?" </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This can be negotiable, but if your love is as crazy for culinary concoctions as mine, food can form the epicenter of your date. It is never a bad idea to include a meal, or even a snack, in your date. Food is how humans bond, so don't leave that card un-played in your dates. That said, Jordan and I have always agreed, a date cannot be just a meal! </span></b><br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sometimes the more facets the better.

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ex. (1) on your way home from dinner (see paragraph 7) pick up a glass bottle of each of your favorite type of soda*. (2) Once home, put on your PJ's, (3) pop popcorn, (4) put extra butter on your popcorn, (5) warm your blankets in the dryer, (6) put your favorite movie in, and enjoy.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ultimately, the goal is to learn about the kind soul who has graciously agreed to date you. You have no idea how many interesting thoughts, emotions, quirks, beliefs, and aspirations are tucked into the being of the man or woman sitting across the table from you. Ask questions. Ask really <i>good</i> questions. Remember what you find out. </span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So there are your totally non-scientific requirements for what constitutes a date. In summary, it should be special, planned out, edible, multi-faceted, and educational. Get good at dating. You'll be glad you did.</span></b><br />

We went on a Saturday afternoon date this time. It was relaxed but included lots of our favorite things!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my very favorite places to eat lunch in Tulsa is at the corner of 15th and Harvard. Big Al's is technically a healthy food place but it's so much more than that. Almost every sandwich comes in different forms: wraps, pitas, and paninis. Yum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sam got the tuscan turkey panini and I got the avocado delight pita, size small. Avocados are one of my favorite things in the whole wide world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After lunch we went to the cutest tea room, Dragonmoon Tea Co. It has nothing to do with China, although I thought so for the longest time because of the dragon reference.<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The people who own and operate this place understand and adore tea. I like wine, but sometimes the descriptions say that it has "hints of oak" or "overtones of blackberry" but I can never really taste it. With tea, if they say it's "chocolatey," you can taste it, but moreover, you can smell it. Tea smells really good. </span></b></div>

It's in a super cute old house that has been redone. Today, it's a quaint spot for an afternoon tea. Someday we will take some friends and have high tea (tea, sandwiches, soup, dessert). It seems like it would be so much fun.</div>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Funny story about these flowers.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> <b style="text-align: center;">Tulsa has quite a few good places if you're looking for a fancier dinner experience. I chose one of our favorite Italian places, Tucci's on Cherry Street. Jordan spent a summer in Italy and swears that their Penne l'Arrabiata is about as close as you can get in northeastern Oklahoma. If you go, order it. We also splurged this time for their Artichoke Cichetti (pretentious name for "Artichoke Dip"). Incredibly satisfying meal altogether. </b></span><br />

One of the last cards of the night announced our activity. Sam said that he loved doing all sorts of activities with me, even crafts. We got home and he had all the supplies to do string art! If you don't know what I'm talking about, imagine the manliest craft you can think of. That's pretty much it. Nails, hammers, boards, it's all there.

<span style="font-family: Josefin Sans, Times New Roman, serif;">After being together for four years, Sam and I have never celebrated Valentine's day. Not because we aren't romantic or we don't like going on dates (because we obviously do). It's just never worked out. Until this year. I am beyond excited for our date on Thursday. Since he plans all our dates, I thought it would be fun if we worked together to come up with some date ideas for you! These are all things that you can do in Tulsa, but they could definitely be adapted if you live elsewhere.</span></div>

Right after the holidays and most of us don't want to leave the house because it's so cold. Andolini's is a super charming pizza place on Cherry Street in Tulsa. I recommend splitting the S.P.Q.R. After enjoying your pizza and maybe some of the amazing garlic knots, take your date back to your place. </span></div>
