Comments on: It’s our party and we’ll cry if we want to. http://www.livinginthegray.com/2008/08/14/its-our-party-and-well-cry-if-we-want-to/ There's so much more of it than I have been led to believe...

I suppose I should do the work and try to remember. A couple memorable ones: Ann 1: Spent camping with the in-laws (really? you want to sleep in a tent at a lake where your parents are? give me a break) Ann 2 or 3: In a hotel in Downtown Saskatoon, spent most of the time in the hot tub watching tv, because in our apartment we had neither of these. We both became deathly ill from our anniversary dinner of seafood supreme at a restaurant downtown. We have a rule too - no flowers. Which Ryan broke this year to buy me 7 calla lilies. I suppose 1 out of 7 years is ok but it sure wasn't cheap :P There is no possible way that I could recall the details of all anniversaries prior to our 7th last year.

Hubby shot me a are-you-smoking-crack look and said, "Are you talking about the year we spent our anniversary in the hospital, because I'd been bitten by a dog and my hands were all infected?" Oops. But at that time, any accomodations were a vast improvement on our tiny, "vintage" Chicago walk-up. Happy 8th!

It was our eighth this year as well, but I can't remember what we've done on too many of them! You're a better wife than me! Happy anniversary!

I don't remember last year. Happy anniversary. I think it is especially romantic that you remembered what happened on all of your anniversaries! I don’t remember last year.

And Happy Anniversary to you!! I can relate to having high expectations for anniversaries and not having them go so well. (I think it might have been my expectations). Anyways, if you want a night alone with your hubby when he gets back from CA, I would be more than happy to come over and watch your kids one evening. Seriously! HI Shannon, you are a great writer! And Happy Anniversary to you!!
