So! Funny story!
Anthony surprised me by taking me out to lunch today. We have both been pretty exhausted lately; me with getting the library settled at the end of the year, and him with preparing for graduation (next! week!). And oh yeah, we spend a lot of time with a toddler.
That last bit especially tires one out.
A workday lunch date was unexpected but welcome. I still get a thrill every time I answer the library desk phone and I hear his voice. Without hesitation I accepted.
We had a great time together. We drove back home happily holding hands when my Mom called…
…To wish us a happy anniversary.
I started laughing hysterically and told Anthony the great news. We’d been married seven years today! With all the work and chaos neither of us had remembered.
We’ve been married seven years but we’ve been a couple for twelve. I am so lucky to have found him and even luckier to have married him. And I couldn’t be happier.
Happy Surprise Anniversary, Husband.

We both forgot our anniversary one year, too (until the afternoon/evening, at least).
beautiful! love you two!
Awww! happy anniversary, you guys! So glad you got the news in time to enjoy a little bit of it.
The manifest destiny story was killin’ me, by the way.
Aaaawww! Happy Anniversary to both of you!
Cheers! May your marriage continue to be blessed :)
