My anniversary
Yesterday was our first year anniversary. The day didn’t go quite as planned but it was the best day we have had in quite some time. The way I had planned the day was that we would get up, do whatever we wanted for a while and then go out for breakfast, get my wedding ring which had been in the jewelers and then head home to lie around, relax, make love again and again and after that getting dressed to go to dinner and a movie. Of course as our luck would have it Sunday night we stopped by my parent’s house and when we were going to leave our car wouldn’t start, so we just left it there and took my mom’s car.
Yesterday morning I woke him up and it was a nice, lazy start, we made love and then exchanged the small gifts we had for each other. We basically had established that we weren’t going to buy gifts, just cards, but I got a journal for him where we will each write something to each other on the 18th of each month, and I told him that the whatever we did throughout the day would be my treat and that would be his gift. He got me two cards and some perfume which I loved, the cards bought me to tears because he just has a way of making me feel special, as you know R is a very emotional person so by the time he had finished reading his cards he was in tears too, but the thing that I found funny was that he started laughing when he was reading what I wrote and just said that we were too much alike, he said it because we both had basically the same things written down in the cards, around the lines of never wanting to be without the feeling of waking up next to each other.
After that we went to breakfast and then to get my ring, but after instead of going home to explore each other and have some fun, we had to go over to my parents and see exactly what was wrong with the car, turned out that the battery was dead and had no repair, so the little money we had for our date was mostly spent on the car, thank God we didn’t let that get us in a bad mood, unfortunately the time we had to have some fun was lost, so we got home and quickly dressed to go out to see Ladder 49 (which was a really great movie) and then to dinner. And when we got home we got started on our baby making…
All in all it was such a great night, we had fun, there was absolutely no tension whatsoever and most of all it reminded me that no matter how many problems or stupid fights we have there is no one I would rather be with, no one I would rather wake up with and no one I would rather fight with.
After all of that the one really special thing that comes to mind is that on Sunday at 1:30 a.m. (which would make it Monday) R woke me up and said “Baby, Happy Anniversary, its already the 18th” and he smiled and had tears in his eyes and we laughed because we made it and me cried because we were happy and then, I fell back asleep almost immediately.
