Happy 5th Anniversary!

Before I went to bed late last night (I'm talking late, like 4am late... I was writing) and I totally forgot that Saturday was our 5th Anniversary of being married. Well, months ago when I was shopping for an anniversary card I had remembered, so as I was just about to get in bed, I rememebered.

My little pet peeve to my husband is that I remember to get a card and he, well, forgets.  So, when I turn up with a card on his work shoes or in front of the t.v. or computer to catch his attention, he knows he's been bested. As he would tell me later in the day, "You suck!" because I had gotten a card and he hadn't. 

So, I groggily crept back down the stairs and got the card I had purchased months ago. It was a good card, and I do mean good. It was soppy, emotional, and heartfelt. It was exactly what I wanted to say to him, but it was all written in the card for me.

I put it on his work shoes and crept back up the stairs and settled in for the night. Hubby, to be fair, had called me at 12:01am to tell me happy anniversary from upstairs while I was writing on my computer. I giggled and said "Happy anniversary hon! Love you." Promptly he fell asleep and I could hear him snoring from upstairs like a chainsaw.

I hadn't known it, but before he left for work, he went to the place he knew I was sure to be at in the morning: my computer. He turned it on, went into photoshop and created a quick card/anniversary note. Sure enough, when I got done with the morning routine, I turned on my computer.  I saw it immediately. It read:

"I Love you with all my Heart
Every moment without you
 tears me apart
Cause when we're old and grey
And dreaming the day away
I'll still be grabbing your parts.
I love you."

I LOL'd and loved every line. I had to call him up at work and let him know it was great :) :) :)

We ran a bit late today for celebrating, since he got out of work at almost 4pm. By the time we went to a birthday party for Uncle, it was getting pretty late. Tomorrow we are imposing on Grandma and Grandpa and all the Uncle's to watch junior while hubby and I take a drive somewhere to enjoy our 5th anniversary.

All in all, it was a great day. We've been together longer than five years, and it still feels like yesterday that I fell in love with him and just "knew" he was the one.
