Today is my Sixth Wedding Anniversary. Six years and six months ago, I was looking for someone to go out to a movie with. One of my best friends told her husband that I wanted to meet someone nice and he told his friend. His friend was looking for someone nice to hang out with. Neither one of us was looking for love. They fixed us up on a blind date. The first date he took me to the Spaghetti Factory and asked me lots of questions including my taste in games. The second date he showed up with a Scrabble game (my favorite) and we went to see Planet of the Apes. After the movie, we came back to play Scrabble. The problem was that my plumbing had stopped up in my bathroom and I was embarrassed to tell him about the toilet. When I finally told him he acted like it was no big deal and insisted that I let him fix it. He went to the store and bought a plunger and unstopped the toilet. I tell people he stole my heart with a plunger. The rest is history. Happy Anniversary Hubby!
Speaking of anniversaries. I told you I would draw a name for my Blogaversary giveaway today. I used a random number picker and #11 came up. Karen from BlueMuf's Corner was #11. Karen leaves the sweetest, most supportive comments and I am so happy to be sending a package of goodies to her. I really wish I could afford to send you all a present. You are all so sweet and your messages to me have been so uplifting the past few weeks.
My mom is coming home on Tuesday. Today she walked over 100 feet and was feeling so much better. She is getting herself in and out of bed and into and out of the bathroom. I am thinking she won't be using her little bell very much. I really didn't want her to go to the rehab place but it has been the best thing for her. The physical therapists were awesome and she is even stronger than before she fell.
One more thing before I sign off. I have to show you what I bought from Sadie Lou Who. She sells the cutest ornaments and I had to have one.
I think I need some more though. Oh my gosh! Isn't she adorable!
Happy Anniversary...just wanted to stop by and say thank you for all the sweet birthday wishes...
Have a blessed and wonderful anniversary...
smiles, kari (& kijsa)
