Admittedly, we didn’t do the best of planning when we got pregnant with Brittain, because it turns out that Brittain’s birthday is 3 days after our anniversary and is also within a few days of Matt and Cecilia’s anniversary. We added to the confusion last year when we decided to have Coleman baptized the same weekend.
In addition to all of that, I mean, we’re busy people! We have CHILDREN…2 of them, in fact. And they require a LOT of attention. They require ALL my attention and because of that, I have very little brain power. So, FORGIVE ME if I forget an important date or two. Am I embarrassed that the way Dan and I remembered it was our anniversary was because I checked the mail and opened a card from his grandparents that said, “Happy Anniversary”? Am I embarrassed that this is the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW we had to be reminded by ANOTHER person that it was the anniversary of the day we married?
Yeah, sorta.
But it wasn’t just me. Dan forgot it, too.
Fortunately, this year, we realized it early enough in the afternoon of the 10th that we still had time to have a romantic evening and reminesce about the day we tied the knot.
Instead, this was the way we spent our evening and night:
By far, the best celebration of our anniversary to date.
