Anniversaries...

I think my hubby is rubbing off on me. This weekend marks our 7th anniversary (MA), and I am just happy spending time with him without the pomp and circumstance that people press on the day. I don't expect big gifts, or a gift at all ( I like long range gifting--like big jewelry). He does not expect a big gift, or a gift at all, he is not a gifter...that is why I get the long range gift ( my choice, my gift to me from me (from him 9-) ).
So is it really a change in me, or me just feeling that our time spent together alone ( hello mother of 2) is more important than gifts or big activities. Who knows. But I feel great that our evening will be like us a compromise, or us wanting the other to have fun too. A little silliness for me, and comedy for him, plus food for both which is never bad! That's about the best evening...and it will be early, so we can still chill with our kids...and get to sleep early ( keeping my fingers crossed!)
Seven years (eight if you count the months we were engaged and planning the wedding--seeing each other only 3 times before being engaged.) two kids, small moves all over Maryland, big moves, from NC and back. We picked up a grandmother, lost a cat, everyone but me wants a new one...(more the clean up than sentimental).
I can say, even as I pull my hair out, that I wouldn't trade this guy. I'll keep him forever ( or for as long as I can (IA). And I'll love every stinking minute of it! 8-)
