I'm in need of some big time help here guys. Girlfriend (of Passion fame) and I will be celebrating our two year anniversary on Friday, October 9, two weeks from now. I have been in the process of studying for a physics test last week, and preparing and executing an entire IT infrastructure move for my office for this entire month, and I haven't had one second to think about this anniversary.

I need suggestions, plans, anything, on what to do for out anniversary, and I need it quick. Little background on our situation, and some things to help you guys out:


We live in the metro Atlanta area, and she love both the beach and the mountains
She loves going on actual dates. I've been so busy lately that we haven't had the time or money to date as often as we'd like
We are together almost every day, so getting sufficient time apart to create something myself without her knowledge will be hard.
I built a computer for her last Christmas. I need to reformat it to Win7 and possibly add a fan since it seems to be overheating again.
I have been promising her a page or section about us on our website for some time now, but I definitely don't have the time in the next two weeks to flesh it out. www.danielvanbeek.com/kelly
She wouldn't mind jewelry, but right now the only jewelry she wants is an engagement ring
She is a biology major, and is extremely interested in Marine Biology
She is in love with the Twilight book series and movies.
She has a Yorkshire terrier, and loves animals
She has a 2000 Chevy Camaro
She loves riding with me on my motorcycle, but only has a helmet so long trips aren't always easy. She is also interested in learning to ride.
I'm willing to spend over $200, and as high as $400 for the right thing


That is about all I can think of right now. Some of those bullet points have obvious answers, like get her a motorcycle jacket. I plan on doing all those things eventually, but I included them in the hopes that one of you can come up with a devious plan that incorporates a lot of different things.

Feel free to ask any other questions, and really, suggest anything. Thanks guys!

My suggestion would be for a simple gift and an elaborate date.
Dinner on the beach with a silver seashell bracelet. (you can even do this at home with a little prep)

I got more...

Bring em on bozo, really. I'm really good at taking suggestions and expanding on them, which is the purpose of this thread.

Take her out to a nice dinner at a good resturant, then maybe a movie. Afterwards take her for for a walk. Find a park with a lake and go for a walk next to it.
As far as actual gifts, get something you know she would like, then leave it at home. She'll be so elated from your romantic evening and making googly eyes at you by the time you get home, then she walks in the door and hey whats that omg the hits just keep coming.
Or, instead of a gift, (or in addition to, i guess) find a way to set up the bedroom without her noticing. You know, the roses, the candles... It may sound passe but women will always love that.

I have done the following for my SO in the last 20 years;

Using a kiddie pool and some play sand (along with other simple decorations), I created a backyard "beach" for a romantic dinner.

Filled her car with balloons on the anniversary of our first date (she was at night school at the time). One had a set of earrings attached (weighted so it would not float away...)

Wrote her some poetry on those little hearts confetti (with a key on the back) and blew a handful of them through the mail slot in her door.

Took her scuba diving and then a private dinner on the beach (after showers of course).

Took her camping and while walking the dogs, I setup a nice romantic spot on the beach to have another private dinner. Had the food already made and in a cooler. I had also arranged a bunch of driftwood into an "I love you" sign so she could see it when we were eating. This was for our 10th anniversary and I also presented her with new wedding rinds. This one scored me points for the next 10 years...

Yes I am a romantic bugger. One secluded walk on the beach is worth 10 dinner and movies... In my experience anyway. To this day I still randomly put the hearts confetti (with and without poetry) in her lunch box.

I have more...

Keep going. I guess I failed to mention that I am always very romantic. I would have normally planned something similar by now but I haven't had the time.

The only thing I can come up with is that you manage to stay one day home from work while she goes to work, and while she's out, set up a candlelit dinner at home.

Look around and see if you can find a musician that she likes somewhere in the area. For my wifes b-day 2 years ago we drove 4hrs to see her fav at a little club then hit a hotel with a hottub after. Bonus of small club she got an autograph and to actually talk with him a bit.
