09/09/09

The date, 09/09/09, has more significance to me than just a numerical coincidence. Today is the 2nd anniversary of me and Jeff's wedding. As you can imagine, it is really not ideal to spend your anniversary in different states. However, I feel as though it made us get really creative and thoughtful with our anniversary. As I mentioned yesterday, most likely, if we were here together, we would go out to dinner, get an extravagant dessert, and then just spend the rest of the night together. As nice as that would have been, it is very common. Not much thought goes into that. It is what a lot of people do on their anniversaries. Obviously, this was not an option for us today, so we adjusted.


The first sign that today was my anniversary came at the end of my school day. Yes, it was the first day of school today. It went wonderfully and my class seems wonderful! As my class and I were waiting to go out to the buses, I was told there was something for me in the main office. It had to be from Jeff, I knew it! I was curious what it was, maybe flowers. Yea, probably flowers! Since it was the first day of school, getting on the bus is a whole process. As I dwelled on what could be waiting for me in the office, I momentarily thought, maybe it's Jeff. Maybe the something in the office is actually Jeff! I realized how silly this was, and immediately went back to the flowers. It must be. Come to find out, about five minutes later, it was an edible arrangements bouquet. It was gorgeous and looked absolutely delicious! I am a big fruit eater, so this was just perfect! Everyone was so jealous over how sweet my husband was. I was proud that he knows me so well!

Jeff also got my gift today and he really liked it, or at least he says. I sent him a DVD. After I knew he got it and saw it, I posted it on YouTube. Here is the link. Check it out, it's sooooo worth it!

See how creative we got? You never did those things on your anniversary did you? You probably went out to a nice dinner, had dessert, and spent the evening together.


We were able to do dinner together. It was by far the best part of my day. That is saying a lot, because I had a great day! It wasn't so much that I had cooked a fabulous dinner. It was more that I got to actually sit down and eat with my husband. We may not have been physically at the same table, but we were  undoubtedly together. Spending our anniversary apart was not as awful as I expected it to be. In fact, it was just perfect! (I hope it never happens again).
