6 years

our anniversary came and went this year. six years. when we got married i still wanted to celebrate this anniversary. the date of the wedding was organized by people that had opening dates available and when family would be able to come. but the day that we became a couple, i think that is pretty special and a reason to celebrate.

however with all the hussle and bussle of last week it sadly wasn't the priority. we had company, my brother had surgery AND got discharged from the hospital, and mark is helping coach basketball. needless to say our nights and days are jam packed.

i had a small present made (which i think i am going to utilize again so must keep that underwraps) and i made tandoori chicken with homemade ice cream cake (i know, pinterest and me can get carried away). but by the time it was complete and cooked mark had to go back to school and coach. AND i think doing all that stuff may have just made us feel bad that we really didn't have the time to celebrate the way we wanted.

BUT if we do look at it another way. that week:

• we got to see my cousin and take her out to one of our new favourite restaurants that serves an amazing african buffet.
• we ate the ice cream cake many times through out the days AND really what is more fun than to have ice cream for breakfast?
• we appreciated the importance of being there for people that need us, and in return made sure to be there
• i realized that in the thick of a mess i have a person that i can depend on to help me out (i actually already knew it, but it was reconfirmed again)
• AND i lost the leftover meal that i made that day and for some reason neither of us knows where it is, so it may be a fun surprise to figure out where it ended up...hopefully it doesn't smell too bad at that point! he he he.

although i love celebrating the day we do have a lot of special time with each other. and that is something that i will appreciate all the more as these hussling days are likely to increase more than decrease as we get older.

love
