Nine

Today is our 9th anniversary, and... well, I’ve married quite possibly the very. best. man. in the world. Dramatic I know, but here's some proof: he’s endlessly supportive and encouraging of anything I do, he makes me coffee every morning (despite the fact that he's most definitely not a morning person), he regularly serenades us on the guitar, + he’s an amazing cook, a most excellent “girl dad” and is wickedly funny.

Oh and he never (ever) tries to hand off a dirty diaper change to me…

See good stuff.



We’d planned to celebrate our anniversary with a family dinner tonight at a very fun "newish" restaurant in town, Park (we even did a little reconnaissance a couple of weeks ago and Bryan and I went for a quick drink at the bar to ensure it would be cool to bring the girlies -- the photos above), but both Millie and I tested positive yesterday for H1N1 (yes we have the swine flu…ugg.)

So no Park tonight (maybe later this week), instead we’re planning some sort o f ice cream picnic in the living room to celebrate.

Happy Anniversary B. I couldn’t love you more…

Happy Anniversay to you and Bry! And have that sweet Millie go kick T in the shin...'cuz he brought that nasty piggy home on the plane! Didn't you guys just have dinner with him about 7-10 days ago ? Feel better soon!

Joslyn said...

it's payback for that nasty food poisoning incident ;-)

Happy Anniversary! And I hope you and your daughter get the rest you need to recover quickly! This season is definitely a scary one. I think I might be coming down with something myself.

Happy anniversary! Sorry you're down for the count!

To me there's nothing more life-affirming than to see a happy couple celebrating their love after years of marriage. Ot makes a non-married girl such as myself quite hopeful! Congratulations!

Wow, my guy is good, but I can't remember the last time he changed a poopy diaper. Hope you and your girl feel better soon. Happy anniversary!

Mmmm, Park. I'm loving the H1N1-free pork chop there. De-lish.
Hope your girls get better soon!!
