Alan and I celebrated 12 years of marriage this year! Because he was working, it was much like any other day except for a little surprise I got in the morning. I woke up and did my usual things (take my thyroid meds, drink my water and make the kids something for breakfast while I wait to eat). I know this sounds horrible, but I was a bit bummed that there weren't flowers on the table or a card. I have always liked things in the morning because it makes me smile through out the day and just minutes after that thought entered my mind, I walked into my computer room to find a ring box and a letter. Alan had surprised me with getting my diamond put back into my wedding ring! It was VERY unexpected and greatly appreciated! Months ago (I don't even know how many), the diamond Alan's grandma Tissie had give him that was her grandma's had fallen out and luckily I found it on my lap before heading into Smith's. It's been sitting in his draw and I had been wearing the promise ring he gave me while we were dating. With money being tight, I didn't expect to have my ring fixed for a while. It was a GREAT way to start my day!
Taken from Facebook: "15 years ago, today, I met a cute boy on a blind date. I remember thinking "I'm going to be with this guy for a long time...I don't ever see us breaking up" and for the first time when his friends teased him with "you're going to marry that girl" he smiled and didn't deny it! Three years later, to the DAY, we got married and have spent 12 years of ups and downs, fun and happy times together. We have two beautiful children who complete our little family!
I couldn't have asked for a more caring, patient, honest, loyal, softhearted, hard working and trustworthy person to be my husband. I hit the jack pot big time! Happy 12th anniversary to my husband Alan!"
That weekend we had the kids stay over at Mindy's and Christi's houses so we could enjoy some alone time. We went outlet shopping and then came home for some dinner and Dexter. We are lucky to have found each other 15 years ago! Here's to many more!
