Oh yeah, today's our anniversary...
...we both kept forgetting because it's also Easter. We both didn't even get each other cards, how sad it that. We went to my parents' for dinner this afternoon and my mom gave us a card and DD #1 "gave us a card" (that my mom bought and had her sign). It's a sad state of affairs when my MOM makes more of a big deal out of our anniversary than we do!
Six years and three cute kids later, I guess we're doing something right... but we.are.exhausted. Come on baby, STTN already.
Wife, Musician, Fed, WW-er, and Mom of three little kids - not necessarily in that order.

Re: Oh yeah, today's our anniversary...
Happy anniversary! We had our 5th on Friday and didn't do much at all. I didn't even get DH a card b/c we said "no gifts," but he got me a card and flowers. Still has no interest in watching our wedding video (that I re-edited!) but I'm hoping to watch it with DD one day soon. We got take-out, does that count as celebrating? I'm hoping we have a vacation before our next one.
Happy anniversary to all of us! If someone told me 5 yrs ago what my life would be like today, I never would have believed them!
Well... Happy Anniversary!!
I tell you, the longer DH and I are together, the more we're like "don't get me anything, just say "happy anni" and let's be done". That's so sad, isn't it? But we've been together almost 11 years and married for almost 6 of those. This year for our 5th, we didn't do a dang thing. He got me a card.... I finally got him a card a couple weeks after the fact.
Belated Happy Anniversary! I remember well all the planning back in 2005 on the DC Knot board. I think that's typical of life once you're a few years in and have little kids in the mix. DH and I have been apart for half of our six, including this past year. I was at a funeral in Connecticut, so I sent him a "happy anniversary" text at midnight. And that was pretty much it. Neither of us were too bothered by the separation (is that a bad sign?) because it's not as if we exchange gifts or go to a fancy dinner every year...we don't even do cards sometimes.
I'm hoping that by the time we hit our tenth, things will be settled enough that maybe we can do a just-the-two-of-us trip or something to make up for the lack of acknowledgment in the early years.
Well, Happy Anniversary to you!
C's birthday is 4 days before our anniversary, so we've pretty much forgotten it entirely the past two years.
Our anniversary is in a little less than a month - 5 years. We had planned to take a trip for this one if we hadn't had a baby. So now that plan has changed! I will be happy with a card and maybe we can get takeout :-)
I can't believe I've "known" some of you ladies for almost 6 years since I started on the knot!
happy anniversary! We don't really do anything anymore either, and we only have one. Hope the baby STTN soon!
congratulations! six years, three children, big life changes! isn't it wonderful to go through them with someone you adore and cherish?
we aren't big card givers in our house. we also don't do gifts for anniversaries. we spend time together and we do things everyday to remind ourselves of our love and the commitment we made that day. e.g., we were married on september 18, so every day (when we remember), at 9:18am and 9:18pm, we say "Happy 9/18!" we send each other text messages at those times, if we aren't together. recently, tomas asked why we say that and i told him that was when our family began. now, he says it too! very cute.
i'm a firm believer that celebratory actions and symbols of love are in your heart, not your wallet. we usually go up to our wedding location on our anniversary, but since audrey arrived the day before this year, we just did a drive by! i was hoping she'd come at least a week away from our anniversary, so we could one day spend a week away, but i don't want to miss my child's birthday so those plans will be on hold for at least the next 18 anniversaries! LOL!
