Our Anniversary 2006

The kids decided this year to be in charge of our Anniversary.

They had their aunt take them to all the old Inns around town and picked a room for us to stay in overnight. They picked the August Room of the Anniversary Inn. It was so cute of them. They earned the money to pay for the room.

We were told to go to the Anniversary Inn and to receive our first envelope from the desk. The ladies there smiled at us, and told us that we had really cute and creative kids and that they were delighted at the kids enthusiasm to make sure we had a nice anniversary. We got our envelope and were taken to our room.

Our room was in the very top of the old mansion. The room had a staircase that took you to the attic where there was a deep jetted tub and a table. The ladies told us that our daughter paid extra to have the romantic package, so we had rose petals all over the room, robes, some wine glasses and some apple juice. So sweet. We were to get settled and come down for our next envelope.

The next envelope sent us out to dinner and told us that we had the evening to relax, take a bath, and to get our next envelope in the morning.

The morning envelope told us to have breakfast at the Anniversary Inn and to check out, where we would receive another envelope. The envelope sent us to a park in the avenues. When we got there we got another great surprise. Our kids were at the park and we played together for a bit. Then they sent us with a clue to find a place across town. It was a cute little shop, and we were able to look around and then got another envelope. This one sent us to a movie, after the movie we got another envelope which sent us home. At home there was a dinner prepared for us, and an envelope. The final envelope sent us to the University Bowling alley, where we got to bowl with the kids. It was a delightful end to the day, and a treasure to be with them. Such a nice Anniversary. WHilE Brian always does a stand up job of celebrating and surprising me this is one year we will never forget.

It made us thankful that our kids know how much our love means to us, and that they are such a part of that love.

This year we spent the day with them. Letting them know that they are the most important and amazing part of the love that we share. They make our family beautiful, being who they are. I am so grateful for the ability to record these memories and journal them. Before I forget them, here they are, and now...off my hard drive, and my head drive...on to making more memories with them.
