Bonne Anniversaire!!!



I love the month of February, and not just because its the shortest month ever! I love February because, its the beginning of a gift-packed season for me: February 14-Valentine's Day, February 17-Wedding Anniversary {the first...or is it second sef...}, March 4-My birthday, March 14-My daughter's birthday! If i play my cards well..and i try..i get really cool gifts on each of those days. If not, one gift serves all three events! Bummer!

The confusion as to which anniversary i'm celebrating stems from the fact that i'm among a select few that have TWO wedding anniversaries in the same year. Yea, i see how that can be very confusing. In simple terms, my Marriage Anniversary {Is there even a phrase like marriage anniversary? Sounds really weird!} is in August, seeing as my one and only marriage certificate reads Aug. 25, 2006 while my Wedding Anniversary
 {you know, celebrating the day i marched down the aisle, with the wedding dress, bridal train and all} is on February 17, 2007!

Anyways, in my four...almost five years...of marriage, I Have Learnt:

  • That its easier to find a needle in a haysack than to change a man!!!!
  • That the man of the house is truly truly your first baby...they are as messy and as helpless and as demanding as your first-borne child!!!
  • That one set of rule applies to you and the kids while another applies to the man of the house. "Do as i say and not as i do" comes to mind! *le sigh*
  • That "How are you doing, darling?" after a fight is as close an apology as you can get! In Mars-speak, it means "I'm sorry!" but it gets lost in translation seeing as women are supposedly from Venus!
  • That its okay to really really hate your man sometimes {like i do right now}...Men are such exasperating creatures!
  • That some days, his work and the boys come before the family!
But, i've also come to realize:

  • That nobody loves me the way he does....NOBODY!
  • That even with all his flaws and his stubbornness, his thoughtfulnesss and the countless little things he does for me each day makes me fall in love with him again and again...
  • That I love him more now...than when i began writing this post...
                                                    You are nothing short of my everything...
You are my world...
And i love you for all the hopes, all the dreams you've helped to make come true...
But most of all I love you, just for being You!

My life is best with you in it....



Happy Four-Year Anniversary....Sweetkins!

I love the way you write....cant over or under say it. I am sure the MR knows how much you love him. Stories like this makes marriage seem like a not-too-bad-idea.
