So, why is Friday the 13th lucky? Because today is my wedding anniversary. 22 years. Not quite half my life, but we did meet when I was 22. This picture was taken a week before we got engaged. My husband was a groomsman in his cousin's wedding. I was dressed in the typical yuppy working women's style of the day.
Of course, we were going to the show anyway but it was a cute idea. On Mother's Day, which I had to share with my husband's birthday, I was joking about my anniversary night being spent at the school because we're providing the cast with dinner then going to the show. Dinner and a show.... only I have to fix the dinner and share it with 17 high school students. It's all in how you look at it.
It reminds me of the year we celebrated our 8th anniversary. My neighbor, whose 3 kids were grown, stopped over. I was in the midst of the typical predinner chaos of a house with 3 kids. Buttercup was a baby, we'd just started a huge renovation project, and I was trying to get supper. She commented on this being no way to spend our anniversary. I remember saying that if 8 years ago, on that very day, someone told me that this is what I'd be doing 8 years from that day I'd have thought I'd died and gone to heaven. So, again, it's all how you look at it.
Happy 22nd Anniversary to you and your dear husband. I love the photo--yes, I remember those 80s fashions very well :) That is so sweet that your kids remembered it was your anniversary--I think they're the ones getting the gift though with a yummy dinner being served to them and their friends. Enjoy your day :)

Happy Anniversary to you both! I was asking about Blogger earlier - I came over to leave you a comment about the quilt, as I didn't get chance yesterday and there was no post. Great quilt top though :)
ReplyDeleteHappy belated anniversary! I'm catching up on some of my blog reading. I can read but can't post (I can, but nothing to post about haha). I loved your post about organization. I always have about 3 lists going and things get crossed off eventually, maybe not when they should have been, but eventually. I always had a huge calendar on the frig which I downsized this year since no kids are at home now. Still a lot of stuff to keep track of. For older people it seems to be all doctor appointments...bummer.
