3rd Anniversary

Jeremy and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary. We have this fun but cheesy thing we do by actually picking presents from that traditional list. The third is leather. I got him a wallet and money clip from Coach. He really seemed to like them. I’ve wanted to get these for him prior but I knew the third was leather and they’d be quite special and just the right gift. He got me a wristlet from Coach and I love it. It’s the perfect gift that I really wasn’t expecting. He gave me this great card that made us both cry. He is a wonderful husband and father. There are definite fights and downs but they are far fewer than all of our ups.

Our anniversary also brings back tons of memories of my grandparents, whom I adored. October 3rd was also their wedding anniversary and it would have been their 60th. They were amazing people, simply amazing. They weren’t the types that showed outward affection. I think I saw my grandfather kiss my grandmother’s cheek once. However, their love and marriage effected me very much. My parents divorced so I looked to my grandparents for the foundations of a good marriage. So far, they have done me well. I miss them dearly but I’m thankful to share a day with them that is hopefully forever.
