Happy Anniversary

I had a lot of fun reminiscing about Italy yesterday. Today our seventh anniversary, Jeff and mine. Jeff took the day off from work and then when Mandy got home from school we went out on a date. It was a lot of fun. We even went to an Italian restaurant for dinner. We strolled through town. Browsed the antique shops, the art shops, the toy store. We love it here. We go out on a date every year for our anniversary, we usually talk about our dream home, this year, we own our dream home.

Anniversary story year 6

Anniversary Story year 5

I am married to a man who is honest, not in the...you look fat in those pants...way but in the...does what he says he will do, is where he says he will be, never hide things...kind of way.

I am married to a man with integrity. He would rather do the right thing, than do the thing that would be in his own best interest.

I am married to a man who loves me and our girls. He shows it every day, in every way.

A month ago Jeff saw through a store window the perfect anniversary present for me. I went in the store and they didn't have any more. Only the display model. They didn't even have a box. He had them put it in a box that didn't really fit. He called me from the parking lot he was so excited about this gift.

He walked through the front door and insisted I open the gift. Both his feet had not even gotten in the front door and he was insisting that I open the box right away. A month to our anniversary. I complied.

The gift was a lovely globe. Almost as tall as me. One of those old fashioned looking globes in the neutral colors. It is on a beautiful wood stand. It is really the best present ever. I love globes. I have it next to my favorite chair. I am always looking over at my globe, yesterday I looked to see which state is above Louisiana, just cause I was curious. And what it that country that is the size of a city, between Switzerland and Germany, I always forget that one. See a globe comes in handy. I got Jeff a shirt with fish on it.
