Tomorrow will mark our five year anniversary. It's a big deal to me. Sure five years isn't long, yet it is. You know? I won't even begin to say they have been an easy five years, because they haven't. But I will say that each year gets better. Why? Easy. We're getting older and wiser. Just kidding. Actually it is because we are both growing a little closer to God each year and allowing Him a little more in our marriage. Without him, I know we wouldn't have made to five years. And with him, we hopefully have many more ahead of us.
Anyways, tomorrow we will do our usual anniversary celebration. We will eat @ Applebees as that is where we ate on our first date back on September 30, 2001. Then we will see a movie. This is fine for me. I will be more than happy with this. I'm so excited that our anniversary is on a Saturday and we will have all day together. It is our first Saturday anniversary. :)
But, it is five years! Something about that makes me want to do something extra special for Andrew. I just don't have a clue what to do. I looked up what the five year anniversary gift should be. The traditional gift is WOOD and the modern gift is SILVERWARE. That leads me to believe I should buy my husband a wooden spoon. :) (giggles) Wouldn't he love that. Seriously, what should I do?
I plan to make him a card either tonight or before he wakes up in the morning. The only other idea I have is to go to the Clinton Presidential Library. I know romantic right? Not really, but he has always wanted to go and I've always refused. Might make for a fun outing.
That's all I've got though. I'm clueless. I'm coming to you in hopes that you might have a brilliant idea! Please share. Any and all ideas welcome. And it's okay - he doesn't read my blog.
I'll be back later tonight with the fifth and final segment of Simple Life Day #1. But I'm going to try to stay clear of the blog world and my computer all together tomorrow. It's a day for just me and my hubby. :) Later.

I think going to the libary would be neat since that is something he really wants to do and it is for sure preferring him over all else:) you could walk thur the river market and get a special coffee or hot choc.:) hold hands and just be together giving each other all your attention.
ReplyDeleteI bought Alex a 5-wood for our 5th wedding anniversary. (LOL) It was back in the day when he actually had time to golf.
ReplyDeleteI think going to the library is a good idea...he has always wanted to go and you are putting him first. :)
I'll go ahead and tell you Happy Anniversary, since I probably won't remember, tomorrow.
Love you guys!
