It's My Anniversay

It was fifteen years ago today that Junior and I got married.  It was a simple ceremony at the courthouse, and some people didn't think we would make it a month.I think we proved them wrong!

My mom took us all out for a delicious supper to celebrate, and the kids made us wonderful cards.  I know how lucky I am, and I hope Junior and I have many more happy years together.

A Gift For Me

Junior and I have an anniversary of sorts coming up. Way back in 1994, on December 22, Junior and I had our first date. We were set up by mutual friends, and met for the first time that night. I remember when he called me, he asked if I wanted to meet him at a bar. I said no, but only because I didn't drive. He ended up picking me up, and the rest, as they say, is history. We were married exactly six months later, on June 22, 1995.

This December marks fifteen years together for us. Some days it's hard to wrap my head around that. I don't feel old enough to have been with someone for that long.

We don't usually mark anniversaries with gifts, but this time I think we should. Most of the time it is hard for me to think of something that I really want, but I do have something in mind this time. A few weeks ago, I went to put on my watch, and noticed that it had stopped. Replacing the battery would cost more than buying a new watch, so that is what I want.

I found this movado watch online, and it looks almost exactly like my old watch. I love the simplicity of it. Most girls are into diamonds and flashy jewelry, but not me. I prefer simple designs, and the few diamonds on the dial of this watch are enough for me.

Now I just need to drop enough hints to Junior about it. Or maybe I'll have more luck if I just email him the link to this specific watch.

Yeah, that will probably work best.

Mike And Colleen

Happy Anniversary!It was four years ago today that my youngest sister got married. It was a beautiful ceremony, and she was an even more beautiful bride. I missed most of the reception, as most of you know. Junior and I spent that time in the hospital having stiches put in Kasi's forehead. She was the perfect little flower girl that day, for a little while at least! I wish Colleen and Mike much happiness and another 4 years, or 14 years, or 40 years together! Love you both. Enjoy your special day!
