15 Years

Happy Anniversary

Today is our 15th wedding anniversary. I don't think we ever really thought about whether or not we'd still be together all those years ago when we went to Las Vegas, 2-month-old daughter in tow, and stood before the marriage administrator and said "I do." It wasn't an elopement, but it definitely wasn't a wedding with all the attendant family, friends, and stress. I'm still happy that we did it that way.

The way things were just a few short months ago, reaching this milestone was in serious doubt. But we made it -- after lots of talking and working things through and just plain trying to make things better. Took a couple of month to get things back to 'normal'.

No big plans for today. We're starting out with the regular weekend activities -- house and yard work, shopping, errands -- but tonight we're planning on dinner out. DH mentioned he needs to go out by himself for awhile -- he's gotta go present shopping. No idea what he's thinking of getting me...

Not sure what to get him. Yesterday we went and got tattoos, which I paid for. I half-jokingly said that my paying for his tattoo was my gift to him... Maybe I'll look for something more... Hmmmmm... I'm not generally good at gift shopping so this will be a challenge...

There was a mention of enjoying the whirlpool tub this evening -- bubbles, candles, wine. Sounds lovely.

Of course, I'll be posting all about our evening...

Would love to see a picture of your tattoo. If you don't feel comfortable with that please tell your readers all about.

-hoping to get a pic posted, but would really like DH to take it as I'm not having much luck with the self-portrait using the timer. I did scan in the drawing I used and will try to get at least that up later.
