Our 13th Anniversary...

Today is our anniversary. George and I have been married for 13 years. We were dating for 5 years before we got married so I have known George for almost 1/2 of my life!

Are we doing anything special? - you ask. No, because George and I were a bit out of it when George made plans to go to a baseball game tonight in Manchester with his brother and co-worker. So, I am celebrating 13 years of marriage by blogging! I did have a glass of wine with dinner. And I did find some energy tonight to vacuum the downstairs floors! It is amazing how 13 years of marriages energizes you or perhaps I was just tired of looking at Benny's accumulation of cheese puff, gold fish and cereal crumbs.

Our wedding day was a bit more eventful. We made the fateful mistake of having some unofficial bachelor and bachelorette activities the night before the wedding. So many of the wedding party, including the beautiful bride, were not at their best that day. But do not despair, there was a sliver lining to our indulgence. My father was taking care of the bar bill and it was an open bar. The bar tab ended up being much lower than my dad anticipated since many of the younger folks had their fill the night before.

Also, just so you know, the traditional 13th anniversary gift is lace, but folks who are more hip and modern can opt for furs or textiles. George better have that mink stole ready to go for me!

i saw your comment about lady slippers...your poor story!!! i know you arent supposed to pick them (luckily!!) but since we have 14 and we used to have 2, i guess they have figured out how to multiply but once you pick, they never grow back. that's what's so sad...you see the leaves and are reminded that you picked the flower!
