Anniversary #3

Yes, I know. Our anniversary was an entire week ago. But I never got to tell you what we did that day. So here I am to tell you!

Ryan doesn't get a ton of time off work, and between our vacation in October and his round of jury duty in November, he'd missed a lot lately. So we didn't really have a lot to work with when it came to time off for our anniversary. He told me he could take one day, and I could choose if he took it as part of our weekend getaway or on the actual day. I chose the actual day.

It was so nice to sleep in that morning; we needed extra rest, especially since he was fighting that silly cold. We made breakfast at home and eased our way into the day. {Easing included a workout. That part was not easy.}

We went out to run some errands {because that's so romantic!!!!} It was right about here that I began to wonder if he actually loved me at all anymore.

Yes. On our anniversary.

But, on to happier times...including hunting down a dress our niece needed for the weekend. I think it looked better on her.

 Our poor Firby tree had been sitting all naked for three days, so we came home and decorated him:

It's not finished here, but that was as far as we got that day, because it was time to go take our anniversary pictures...you remember those from yesterday!

After the pictures, we went out for dinner. A new little Thai restaurant opened in town not long ago, and we'd never been there. So we went, and it was quite tasty!!

We came home for our gift exchange. You remember Ryan's rhino, which was the unbeatable gift of all time, but did you REALLY think I could go through a whole anniversary without giving him the designated gift? {Third anniversary is leather.} I got him this leather desk caddy, which he promptly declared should be a remote boat, and I have to admit, it works really well as one!

He gave me glass jewelry, which I absolutely adore.

We curled up with coffee and cupcakes and watched/cried over our wedding video. You can guess who did what.}

It was a lovely, lovely day. Thank you, Baby, for taking off work and hanging out with me. I loved having the day with you! And I have loved these three years with you!
