16 years...........


Sunday, January 7, we had been married 16 wonderful years. I am married to a man that is good to the core. A man that is loyal, true to his word, spiritual, soft hearted, loving, affectionate, hard worker, supportive and my very best friend. A man that has taken my three children and their children to his heart as his own and provides the support of a father and grandfather to all 6 of our children and 10 grandchildren. This message is going somewhere I promise: ) I couldn't ask for any more!!!!!
Now, back to Sunday.........I wake up late and stumble into the kitchen to find a huge gorgeous bouquet sitting on the island with a handwritten note telling me how wonderful I am.....uhum.....along side this is a darling Spring outfit for me (white eyelet blouse with a navy and white stripped skirt). I am thinking to myself as I make a cup of tea........HOW SWEET!!!! The note gave me no clue as to my forgetfulness:( So, with tea in hand I go downstairs to find my cutie and thank him for his thoughtfulness..............
He looks at me and say, "You forgot didn't you?" and I am thinking....forgot what????? All of a sudden it dawns on me......OMG it is our Anniversary! Oh no, how could I have forgotten???? What is wrong with me that I can't remember things???? Dates have never been my strong suit!!!! How will I ever make this up to him????? Wow, if I could have found a hole I would have crawled into it:0 I felt so bad that I could hardly say,"I am sorry". It sounded so lame.....it sounded so inappropriate at that moment. Well, with a hug and a kiss I was forgiven.....how sweet is that! I did make up for it later........with a gift and a couple rounds of golf (that doesn't really make up for my forgetting though...I will be working on that for a long time:)
Have you ever done anything like that..........I sort of hope the answer is NO....for your sake:) Posted by Picasa

Well he had me at New Years Eve babysitting all those grandchildren. I knew he was a Saint or a Fool.

What a Handsome WONDERFUL Man.
A Real Man at that!
and I am so glad you have such a loving friend and partner in your life.

As for forgetting Anniversaries...I am so ashamed to admit I forget mine often too. But I have an Angel myself that never cares a wit and only gives me love in return for being a Cotton Head.

Not that you shouldn't feel bad....you're a dog ! but just so you know you are not alone !

Love, S.

ps Can't wait to see you in that cute little Spring Suit. Isn't He The BEST !

Happy Anniversary, Sweetie. May the two of you celebrate many, many more!
Also, I wouldn't forget IF the dates on my calendar weren't as close as they appear, LOL! and I could simply remember what day it is now!!!
