Five Years

On this day, five years ago, Andy and I said our "I do's." It was really a beautiful day. There were mistakes, but you know, it just makes the day memorable. Who am I kidding? It really started when Andy proposed to me while I crutched around the Botanical Gardens with my broken hip. Ha!

To celebrate our anniversary, we went out to Mike Shannon's last weekend. It was a lovely evening. Last night we hung out, ate fish for dinner, and had cocktails while we spent quality time together. I gave him my phone upgrade early since his was on its way out. So his iPhone was part of his present. The other part is on its way: new inserts for his Ugg slippers. He loves those things, but I'm sure he has no idea what my parents paid for them and therefore why I'm so insistent that he get new inserts instead of just replacing the shoes entirely.

He got me his best present yet: a gift card to Talbot's.

Normally I'm very opposed to gift cards, but the fact that he knew I rarely went to nice stores for myself really meant a lot to me. That and the fact that he made a trip to the mall especially to get the card. Wow!

I doubt we'll do anything tonight. I'm working out, and he has art meeting. The first five years have been good though, and I look forward to what the next five might bring.
