I'll Take a Dozen. . .

Things that come in a dozen:

Eggs

Roses

Donuts

Months in a year

Inches in a foot

Hot dogs

Hours on a clock

Years since I put gas in a car

Years in my marriage

Yep. . .12 years ago I said I do and I never looked back. So here is a list of 12 things I love to do with my love:

1. Build things -- we are forever working on some project.

2. Make up nicknames for everyone we know -- names that fit them better than their actual names

3. Cook and Bake in our new kitchen

4. Run -- although I don't particularly like running, I am glad he makes me go do it with him

5. Lay in bed at night with separate laptops or books

6. Tease our girls

7. Eat lavish desserts while watching the Biggest Loser

8. Play games at the kitchen table with the girls

9. Run all errands -- our friends think we are weird because we run all our errands together and shop together

10. Make lists of things we want to do before we die

11. Go to concerts, ballet, symphony

12. Anything and everything. It's just more fun that way.


In the words of Helen Rowland:

"It's easier to keep half a dozen lover's guessing than to keep one lover after he has stopped guessing."

I think I'll keep this one.

I prefer a half dozen....princesses that is. I can't wait until they are all having a princess breakfast on my patio, swimming in my pool, hiking my riverbanks and dashing around on my tennis court.

OK, so, what are our nicknames? I'm dying to know. I'm going to ask until you tell!

Happy, Happy Anniversary again! And as for my vacation--- I AM leaving next week! Darn it! Putting the kids in the hot van and driving 10 hours to Mammoth Lake, CA (which looks surprisingly like Idaho :/ ). SOOOO sorry to miss you....again!!!

Hope you enjoyed every minute of your anniversary! All the best to you both!
