who says 13 isn't lucky?


pat and i celebrated thirteen years of wedded bliss this past sunday. here's a pic from one anniversary weekend getaway to boston about six years ago (when we still looked young and i was thinner). anyhoo, no getaways this year. he gave me flowers and i made him a nice dinner and we both had picked out and purchased our own gifts previous to our anniversary (sounds like 13 years, eh?).

i feel like i should say something deep here, but all i can think to say is how lucky i am to have pat in my life. no regrets here.

That is a great picture! The background calls to mind a Boston autumn (even before you said where it was!) and makes me neeeed to buy a plane ticket.

Congratulations on your anniversary! 13 already? Wow . . .I thought it just SEEMED like I was getting old, but I actually am OLD. And I really enjoyed your post about the Olympics. There's been much discussion (mostly me complaining) about the bikini--beach volleyball connection at our house. I don't get it.

Ok...so we're only on year 4, but we've been "picking out and purchasing" our own gifts from like year two...are we boring or what!?

Not to say you're boring...no...wait..that wasn't what I meant...I mean you're the furthest thing from boring I can think of, I was just saying.....you're smart...and practical...and congrats on 13 years!

I love that picture you posted. I guess we are coming on our 13 years too. We were married in the same year.

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
