The other day I was telling someone about the unusual circumstances surrounding mine and Russ's marriage. As I was talking it donned on me that our anniversary was just around the corner and it would be our 6th anniversary. Where has time gone?! I still look at us and see the two goofy kids that everyone asked if we were even old enough to get married. LOL!
Russ very slyly got me some roses' last night after his dentist appointment. He knows how much I love getting flowers and always spoils me with them whenever he can. These ones were particularly gorgeous I thought.
Early morning I got to go garage saleing with a friend. It was the first time I've gone to more than one garage sale at a time. We had a lot fun giggling, and finding treasures. I was pleased with myself for only spending 25 cents. This little excursion started my day off on the right foot.
Upon returning home I found a card addressed to me sitting on our computer. Apparently the mail man came early today, or so Russ says. Inside was a funny card, and some money for me! Russ noticed my clothes are starting to get on the tattered side, and he also knows I have a hard time spending money on me instead of the girls. He also said he is going to set aside some time for me to go shopping by myself. Let me tell you what a luxury that will be! I felt horrible after this because I had forgotten to pick up his present from the store the day before. I had it all planned out too, but it slipped my mind. I guess he'll just have to get it late. A week late since he is going to Cali on Sunday.
The rest of the day was spent working on our front flower bed....or maybe I should say shrub bed. We now have an "almost" finished shrub bed. We can't decide if we need to relay some mulch or not in a corner of it. For some reason that section of mulch was a different size than what we covered the rest of the bed with.
Early evening we cleaned ourselves up from gardening, and some neighbors {who are also in our ward} came over and babysat the girls. Russ and I went out to eat at La Casona, our favorite Mexican restaurant. It was so good, but I ate way too much. Afterwards we wandered around the mall talking and in general just killed some time. Now if you want to feel old go to a mall on Friday night. I swear there were first graders there without parents!
Around 9:00 we went and saw Clash of the Titans. Horribly made movie, but it was fun to watch together because we kept comparing it to the Percy Jackson books we just read. We even were lucky enough to get a drink and some candy with some "date" money my parents had sent us in a card. Finally we got home and relieved the babysitters. They talked to us for awhile at the doorway. It is nice to have adult conversation every once in a while :D
Even though we didn't do anything spectacular it felt great to go actually carry on a conversation with Russ. Not only that but strengthen our bond as a husband and wife. I'm so grateful that Russ and I found each other. He makes me laugh every day with his sense of humor, and that is something I look forward to doing the rest of my life with him.
