SweetGuy, you and I have been married 24 years today. How is that possible. I mean, really. It went SO fast. Time really does fly when you’re having fun. Not literally of course.
SweetGuy and I are going to take off work a little early today and have an anniversary date night. We’re even abandoning the kids tonight and will stay at Nanni’s lovely place by the frozen river. (I hope that’s OK with Nanni, I sorta forgot to ask. Nanni, is it OK?) Bud and Magoo left a truely lovely note for SweetGuy and me to see when we got up today. Among other things they said:
First of all, we want to be clear that we still love you both despite the fact that you’re completely ditching us for the day.
… In light of how wonderful you guys are and how hard you both constantly work, Bud and I both want to give you our blessings to enjoy this day and enjoy each other (but not too much!).
… We will try not to burn the house down, but no guarantees.
To Bud & Magoo, your father and I LOVED your note. And, if you do burn the house down, please remember above all else, SAVE MARIO KART.
One more thing, to you, SweetGuy, I always think that there is no way I deserve someone as wonderful as you. However, as I ponder that thought now, I am certain the Lord didn’t put you in my life because I deserved you, but rather He knew I needed you. And, I am now, always have been, and always will be exceedingly grateful for such an unequaled blessing. Thank you for being you.
Happy Anniversary. I love you!
And, next year, let’s go someplace WARM!!
It is wierd to think that its been 24 years. The hardest part is getting my head around the fact that you’re that old. My life with you has been an incredibly rich blessing. It will be even more rich next year when we are warm on our anniversary.
Love you.
I’m pretty sure the whole Mario Kart thing goes without saying. And btw… this post is pretty stinking cute
Awwww…..aren’t you guys so cute? I still remember your wedding. Singing Sally’s beautiful rendition of “Sunrise, Sunset”…..my panic when the guy in the back started my music in the middle of the song. And the reception……the Superbowl Shuffle……..Nanni’s “rendition” of Bad Bad Leroy Brown. It was a magical evening at Quail Meadow’s Country Club. Congratulations to both of you……and many blessings. You both deserve it! Love you love you.
Hope you had a MAGICAL anniversary … You deserve it!
oh, yeah. and the photo is pretty cute, too.
OK – I AM GOING TO STOP READING THIS BLOG – BECAUSE ALL I DO IS CRY!!!!!
Wow you guys have not changed a bit!!!!!
Sunrise, Sunset, Sunrise, Sunset swiftly flow the years — one season following another laden with happiness and tears……. Everyone– sing it with me!
Renee, Robin – do you remember the shoe dance? Andi and Rod’s reception was one of the funniest nights ever.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
I just wished Andi would have combed her hair – just sayin”…..
Thanks for the memories, everybody! (Except FavoriteChild) And, I had totally forgotten about the Super Bowl Shuffle! I told the kids last night about it and we are definitely going to have to find it on YouTube.
