18 years and counting

 Eighteen years ago yesterday, DH and I were married in Las Vegas, seems like yesterday.  It has been the best 18 years ever looking forward to many, many more.  While dyeing wool yesterday, DH came home with these beautiful flowers.  I only get flowers twice a year, my birthday and our anniversary.  Love them.  We went out to a nice dinner at our favoirte Italian restaurant, Alfredo's.  If you live in  Atlanta, give it a try; it doesn't look like much on the outside but it is great.

DH asked what I wanted for our anniversary, we just happened to be at Costco at the time  and I said that I would like the Outlander book, which I have never read, much to my surprise I got the whole series, can't wait to get started.

16 years or is it 23 ?

 Yesterday was our 16th anniversary, can't believe that it has already been 16 years.  Of course DH says it is really 23 because we were together for 7 years before we got married.  However you count it, they have been really, really great years.  I couldn't have found a nicer guy!!!  Both of us like to do outside stuff, so we spent the day at the Chattahoochee Nature Center, it has been years since we have been there.  It was the perfect day for it, not too hot, slightly overcast and best of all it wasn't crowded.  The flowers were beautiful.  I have no idea what the purple one is but it was pretty.

Butterfly weed.  How can something this pretty be called a weed?

After spending the day out and about, we had a great dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant, Alfredo's.   I had a really hard time this year deciding what to get DH for an anniversary present, (if you remember the quilt story from last year you understand this).  After much thought I decided on 16 different presents, most were small and silly, but they were a hit.  The best was tickets to a concert in November, so we have that to look forward to.  Hope the next 16 years are as good as the last 16!!!
