Summer #4

Happy Anniversary

June 27th 2009

I love looking at this picture and remembering the excitement of my wedding day 12 years ago.

It was so perfect--Perfect weather, perfect dress and the perfect man!

Flowers that Ben surprised me with on our anniversary.

I love when he brings me flowers-- I just wish they would last forever.

We had a very enjoyable day to celebrate our 12th anniversary. I made appointments for us at Holly's spa and arranged to have the kids watched for the day so we could enjoy ourselves and not feel like we had to rush home. My good friend Julie watched the kids during the day while Ben and I went to the spa and then to the mall to do a little shopping for ourselves. Ben had a facial and he felt a little silly about it, and I got a massage. It was very relaxing and needed, at least for me. After we went home to see the kids for a few hours, we were able to drop them off with my parents so we could go to dinner alone. Holly and Jared joined us and we went to Iggy's where Emma works. It was good dinner and good company.

I am so grateful to have a husband to loves and cares for me each and every day. He is the greatest husband and father that anyone could ever ask for. I love YOU!
