For an anniversary/valentines day gift Joel got me....
A NEW RING! I love it!!
Then on Friday, our actual anniversary, he gave me this rose that he made out of a Coca-Cola can (more proof of his craftiness) and...somehow...made me a anniversary card for my kindle. How he got it on my kindle is completely beyond me, but it makes my heart smile every time I see it there!
That night we went to Maddox for dinner and then continued our date on Saturday with lunch at Chili's and a movie. We went to see the movie "Act of Valor". The movie was very good, tense, but very good....and yes, as always, I cried.
I'll admit it...I was a lousy date on Friday night :( After a very long -emotionally draining- week I came home from dinner and CRASHED, yep by 6:30pm I was out! Our original plan was to come home, check on the kids, and then go to the movie a little bit later, but while he was downstairs talking to Ry...I fell asleep. Joel, being the sweetheart that he is, knew that I was exhausted and didn't wake me up. I woke up on Saturday morning, still dressed in the clothes I wore on our date, and started laughing.....I felt SO BAD. I'm such a slacker wife! He was super fabulous about it all and we made plans to continue our date later that day. Today I asked him if he glad that he didn't have to miss his "Modern Warfare Night".
He said...the best answer EVER...
"I decided not to play...I just climbed into bed with you".
Ahh, that right there made me love him even a little bit more!
Joel,
You are my partner, my sweetheart, my confidante and
advisor, my comforter and best friend.
Thank you for everything.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ~ I LOVE YOU!
