Today is our 6th Anniversary, I have been waiting for this day for the last month. I was expecting something big and amazing to happen and then realized the most amazing thing already happened, we are here together celebrating 6 years.
We went to Milestones for dinner tonight. They had a table set up different than all the other tables. We were by ourselves until the last 5 minutes of dinner. I had called ahead a few days earlier and spoke with the Chef about Robs restrictions and asked if they could accommodate us. The chef at Milestones on Stephen Avenue said absolutely and then we went through each item, we were ordering. The meal we had was off of the seasonal menu, so they made everything just for us. They brought the food out with lids on it to make sure it was good for Rob. They served us expensive imported from Italy bottled water, because Rob can't drink tap water, wont touch wine and I am pregnant so no wine for me. The food was perfect, I really don't know how else to say it. They didn't just say they were going to do accommodate Rob, you could actually tell they did it. There was a vase of flowers in the middle of the table and at the end when we were leaving our waitress brought a box out for the flowers so we could take them home. I know I know I shouldn't have them in the house, I will have to send them to my moms tomorrow, so she can enjoy them. The reason Rob can't have them in the house is they are usually imported and who knows what bugs they have on them. I think the biggest thing that impacted me about our special dinner was at the end the Manager came over to us and asked if he could pay for our dinner. They gave us a card with the words, You are an inspiration to all of us, the Manager took time to get the flowers ordered and set up a special table and then pay for our dinner and be involved in our service as well. Thank you Milestones you made this a memorable milestone for us.

Happy anniversary, Victoria. You deserve the special treatment you got today. I've been occasionally reading your blog and catching up, and I'm amazed. You are an amazing woman, Rob is blessed to have you. I often finish reading with tears in my eyes. You are in my prayers. God bless.

I have been keeping track of your (and Rob's) story for a while now, Victoria. I have finished many of your posts with tears running down my face.
I am so happy that you had such a special anniversary. And that the restaurant treated you and Rob with such class.
I just wanted you to know that it's not only your closest friends and family that are praying for you. There are people who read (like me), who don't know you well, that are praying for you both.
Take care and God bless.
^That is so amazing awsome!! I dont know anyone who deserves it more!! Love you both!! Happy Aniversary!!!! May God bless you with many more!!

Happy Anniversary Rob & Victoria-you are both such an inspiration to couples everywhere-we love you both so much and continue to pray always for all of you!
What an aniversary gift. Just shows you how much you're loved. Don't know why Milestones did it and that's great - and I too will go there some day - but I would like to think God did that just for the 2 of you to show how he is trying to strenghten you in such a hard situation. You have hope and hope has no shame.
I'm glad you had a fantastic aniversary and may you have many more. God Bless we love your family
