5 Years...

Clark & I had our 5 year anniversary Friday. To make the day truly spectacular...I was off...so nice! Izzy and I spent the first half of the day playing dress-up, reading books, playing outside on the deck and taking a peaceful & snugly nap together. Then Ya-Ya & Mike came to get Izzy so she could spend the night with them and I did a few things around the house (including putting Izzy's basketball goal together) and then got ready. Clark worked at Dave's and rushed home to get ready. Our original plan was to recreate our first date which was Outback and a movie, but we ate soooo very much (I mean literally, I haven't eaten that much in years) that I simply could not go and sit in a movie. So we kept with our "new" anniversary tradition of going to Toys R' Us (we went last year after our anniversary dinner) and getting some Christmas present ideas. We also went to TJ Maxx and got some new toy storage bins, which I loooove, and some PJs for Izzy and an adorable dress which is goes perfect with some new tights that I bought her. Then we came home and rented a movie instead. This Anniversary is represented by "wood" Clark gave me the "Promise" Willow Tree Angel, which also comes with a picture frame...LOVE IT! I however, after about 6 weeks of searching, could not find anything "wood" that I thought Clark would need or care for. So instead I got him a rechargeable LED work light, which he really needed (b/c he's always stealing Marshall's) and he loves. Its not always been an easy 5 years, but we've made it together and I couldn't imagine anything better than that!
