Happy Anniversary to me!!!! :0)

Yesterday was my 13 year Anniversary!! Since the weekend was Valentine's Day, we decided just to have the kids go to my parents house & hang out. We run 24/7 so we decided not to have an agenda this year. Drew had a game on Saturday, so we just said out goodbye's after that & headed off to The Davenport for lunch. Hal surprised me 3 years ago with the Cutter ( he was the architect for the hotel) suite here and it is an amazing hotel. You can check it out here...

I was so surprised...Amidst a spa day, a dozen roses, chocolate covered strawberries & appletini's waiting for me in the room when I got back, it was an awesome time, so we go revisit the restaurant as much as we can. Awesome food & ambiance!!! Of course we ended up at the casino, Hal ended up winning on a $1 machine at the end hooray, so our whole weekend was free! We had already shopped a little, we were weirdos this year and just shopped for our gifts together. Then we ended up just hanging out at home watching movies and eating out! Yesterday, we hung out all day too, we went to a yummy restaurant which actually floats on the water here on Lake Coeur d' Alene! A nice relaxing weekend, I SO NEEDED! Anyway, I thought it would be fun to look back 13 years at our wedding photos, we were such babies! I especially love our hair (Not so much!) Enjoy the laugh! :)

This was in one of those dorky booth's at the beach! :0)

And...here was are a little more recently, I think this was a year or 2 ago, it was the 1st pic I found in my very unorganized pics online, lol! 2 kids and a few years later, better hair and not a lb. gained *wink*!!
Ok, here are 13 things, I LOVE about my husband!!!

1. He is so much fun, he is a jokester and always makes me laugh, even if I want to beat him while I laugh!
2. He is the most loving father!
3. He cries at sad movies and then gets mad at me for making him watch them :0)
4. He is just as OCD as me in so many ways, sorry to my kids!
5. He has this funny lip thing going when he tries to lie to me, I have learned this from years of being gullible to his tall tales and jokes!
6. He is addicted to the lint roller!
7. He is such a family man, he loves spending time with us!
8. In 15 years we have been together, he has never once complained about 1 penny I spent, seriously!!!
9. He has amazing work ethic and integrity. He is an awesome leader.
10. He always remodels or build things I dream up or find a picture of and complains the whole time, lol!
11. He has a great relationship with my family & somehow manages to be a smarty to my Mom & get Me & My Step-Dad blamed for it "EVERYTIME"!!
12. He will help me anytime I need extra cutting and heat sealing ribbon! :)
13. He loves me for me in every light, I can totally be myself without reservation! I am so glad I found him! I love him so much!

PS: I put the songs from our wedding in my musicbox, they are songs 2 & 3! The 4th song I can't even find to upload, here are the lyrics, MAN I feel old!

NEXT STEP IN LOVE

Solid gold candle holders And an old bottle of wine

You let your hair down on your shoulders

And you pressed your lips to mine

The rain beat soft against the window

As the night turned into dawn

As I looked deep into your eyes

I knew where my heart belonged

I´m ready for the next step in love

Girl, you´re all that I can think of

Isn´t my love good enough

I´m ready for the next step in love

Solid white wedding dress

And a long white veil

We put all our fears to rest

And we let this ship set sail

I placed the ring on your finger

Then you looked at me and smiled

The we sealed our love with one last kiss

And I walked you up the aisle

I´m ready for the next step in love

Girl, you´re all that I can think of

Isn´t my love good enough

I´m ready for the next step in love

I´m ready for the next step in love

Girl, you´re all that I can think of

Isn´t my love good enough

I´m ready for the next step in love

I´m ready for the next step in love
