Today is our 9th wedding Anniversary (or Anniversity according to Leah). Nine years, really? Three houses, two kids (plus an international student), 2 dogs (and countless other creatures that have resided in our house), numerous business endeavors later, here we are - loving our life and excited to see what God has in store for us next.
Chris was so thoughful to have a stone reset in a ring he gave me on our 3rd anniversary. So, what was I to give him? I remembered a set of 4 rounds of golf that we won at an auction. Great! I'll get a group of his friends/family together, schedule a tee time...sounds like an anniversary present to me! Not so...I went home last night searching for the tickets. Finally I resort to asking Chris where they are. He gave them away last Friday to a client. Well, back to square one. He is going to end up with a bottle of barbeque sauce I picked up at Ross' today. How original, huh?
My girls love any excuse to celebrate. They are so excited about today. Leah has been talking about out "anniversity" for a while now. Finding out about the ruined golf gift, Leah has the idea to take Daddy to play putt putt with the whole family (sure this will out beat golf). Cecilia has her own idea - put her and Leah in a decorated box, then they jump out and scare their unexpecting Dad. Two great ideas. We are doing both. Actually, I am seeking a box that is big enough to fit a 5 year old and an 8 year old. We'll see what I come up with. Both girls made cards for their Dad today. You know, it really doesn't matter how the gift turns out, Chris and I are so blessed to have two children that are so excited to give today. They want today to be special for us. Thank you, God, for blessing me with Cecilia and Leah...oh, yeah, and Chris!
