Anniversary Idea
Posted on | July 23, 2009 | 12 Comments |
Next Tuesday is our 6th anniversary. Wow, feels like 15 ha ha ha… But we have no idea what to do since we have a newborn. We can’t leave her with a friend for a late night deal or for an extended all day deal. Anybody has a suggestion? I do want to do something special since he’s a special guy in many ways (although don’t get me wrong, there are days where I want to kick him out the door he he he). He’s so special that he even makes me handmade cards. The above was a birthday card and remember this one (it’s peaking out from behind the Snuggle card) from last year’s mother’s day?
We love celebrating our anniversary for many reasons but one big reason is that we managed to have another great year without killing each other and look forward to another one (without killing each other). Hubby and I are polar opposites. Hubby’s friends are often surprised after they met me… just not what they expected. For example I’m a sweetie and he’s an asshole. That’s right! My husband is brutally honest. That’s why our conversations are often times so colorful and interesting. So those who doesn’t know him well might take him as anything but nice. But, once you get to know him, you can expect an honest answer from him. But when it comes to old ladies… goodness, he’s a sweetheart. Old ladies LOVE LOVE LOVE him. And kids too. He’s totally sweet with them and half wants to go home with him he he he…
But despite our difference we somehow click and we work well together. He’s what I’m not and vice versa. We do have our arguments… most are stupid (like how lousy I am at cleaning or how he has very selective memory) or how we raise our kids (I’m more into education and he’s more into experience and real life stuff) but hey, that’s marriage, right? As long as we work things out and we make up soon after then all’s good.
Anyhow, I just rambled there… but if you have any idea on what we can do, that’d be awesome. Should we do a family thing or leave the kids with somebody? Ahhh… I know hubby would rather have me to himself… and not smell like spit-up ha ha.






You are too funny!!!! YOu and your husband sound like me and my husband! We usually travel for our anniversary, we got married on Maui and we like to go back yearly. When we can’t we like to go out and eat at this awesome Hawaiian restaurant. Last year Alex was six months and we took him out to dinner with us. We talked about this year and we might take him again, since he is 18 months now. He does well if we do early dinner and we don’t have anyone that can watch him.
Add a CommentI would probably do a family thing :)
How freakin sweet is THIS?! CD Case? Did he take your PTI stamps out to make this? B/c that is almost unforgiveable, if he did. :-) J/k You 2 sound just like my DH and I…could not be more different. Opposites attract I guess! :-) Hmm…. I’m trying to think… it sounds like you only have time for a quiet dinner, but that may be all you need. I nursed both of my kids, but I pumped also (tmi?) so if I needed, I could be away for a while. I think you should do something totally fun tho, that can take your mind off of anything except for the two of you. You can go paint together, have a picnic lunch, get a couples massage, even just grabbing some ice cream and strolling through a nice boutiqe center or something would be nice. I think maybe find out what you love doing, but always put off. And just do it. Go for it. And enjoy it. :-) That probably didn’t help much, but… I tried! :-)
Add a Commentthose cards are amazing! haha i think it’s better to be opposites. best of both worlds :O)
maybe have a date night at home? set up a picnic on the living room floor after the kids go to bed. or grab take-out from a favorite restaurant?
i know you’ll make anything fun! i woke up sick on our anniv. i was passed out by the afternoon but J woke me up around 9pm to pizza delivery. we had really great plans for the night that we had to ditch. but i think if we can make hot pizza in the living room romantic… we can make it! i’m sure you’ll figure out the perfect thing!
Add a CommentHey there!!! Funny you posted this because i just got off the tampa bay bucs website trying to figure out what seats i should get for when the cowboys get here in september. We are about to celebrate our second year together….another year being with me without killing each other ha!! my husband and I are polar opposites. but we are alike in a lot of ways too. well just mostly our sick sense of humor. but im the B word and he is really nice.
If you were here I would look after M and J. I’m the resident babysitter at work and part of the kids playdate rotation. I have tons or refferences. Do you have family in town to help you out. I dont so i dont know what I will ever do if when we have kids.
I’m sure you giving him a 2nd baby is enough. but im sure whatever you do like the pizza at home he will love. take out from a really good restaurant will be good. and set it up as if you guys were out?? Good luck!!!
Add a CommentThis is to funny, your hubby is very creative, the snuggle cut out is too hilarious. I know what you mean by being opposites but still getting along too well. Me and my husband are the same, except I am the one who is brutally honest and he is the calm nice guy, hehe. He tells me he doesn’t understand how a small person can be so feisty! hehe. About an idea for an anniversary, gee, that is a difficult one. Usually me and Scott do an all day spa for our anniversary, and that’s always a treat! Perhaps with the kiddies you can go to a nice dinner or dine al fresco on your back yard, since it’s nice out :o)
Clouds :D

Add a CommentBummer deal that we’ll be out of town. Totally forgot about your aniversary. Maybe Aaron can watch the girls…………ok, maybe not (lol)… Perhaps you can celebrate again when we return.
…Drew is definitely a candid person, but he is also such a romantic dude! Advance Happy Aniversary to you both! I’m sure you’ll have a fantastic time, with or without the spit-up smell ;0)
Add a CommentThat is so funny, Savitri! I think our husbands have a similarity. Old ladies love my husband too…haha..I don’t know why.
Add a CommentCount me in the opposites club too – LOL. We’ve celebrated a few anniversaries with infants (I had 3 kiddos in about 5 years), so the first 1/2 of my marriage has been at some stage baby-filled. We’ve done dinner in. We’ve taken everyone out with us, and we’ve done lunch by ourselves (maybe it would be easier to get a babysitter for the middle of the day?). I think that someone else already said it, but you should pick something that you don’t get a chance to do often… even if it is just taking a stroll together around the block to get sometime away to “celebrate” the milesone… of making it another year without killing each other!
