Woke up to the alarm at 7:15am (oops, slept in a little) and noticed that hubby was still home. Then I remembered: he took the day off of work to spend it with ME instead! I was able to get ready for the day, including drying my hair & putting my make up on (a rare thing these days). And in peace might I add. He included Jocelyn when taking Aubrey to school which then allowed me to make breakfast. All before 9am. It's a miracle!! And a lovely gesture on his part.
This year, we mutually decided to keep things simple. We had no particular plans for the day. Just each other's company was all that was requested. What to do...what to do?? Got in the car and drove off to Ikea is what we did. Which is a great place for people like us who like to dream up designs for 'future said built home.' Arrived to Ikea shortly after store doors had been opened. Very relaxing and nice to wander around without crowds of people stepping on our heals or screaming children on every side jumping on furniture. We were done touring the top floor - arriving in front of the cafeteria at approximately 11:45am. LUNCH TIME! It's a luxury for us to eat at Ikea (or anywhere for that matter!) so of course our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. But the food was oh. so. good! Their swedish meatballs were heavenly. As always. Jocelyn approved of her macaroni and cheese, french fries, apple sauce, and OJ.
John and I had fun making each other laugh at who knows what as we snapped one anothers photo.
Off we went downstairs to collect a few selections and then hit the road for home around 1pm. And it's a good thing too that we thought to bring Jocelyn's all time favorite blanket. She was out in seconds for her delightful nap. Otherwise, we would have been punished BIG TIME!
Today was an awesome day! Happy Anniversary sweetie! Thank you so much for taking this beautiful day off to be with me. I look forward to many, many more anniversaries. You're my best friend and I love you! :)
In tribute to John and I's anniversary, I wanted to share another love story with you. A story like ours that keeps on living and growing.

As soon as Aubrey got off the bus, we drove the girls over to the local playground to enjoy more of the fall fresh air. It got a little chilly but we all had a great time.
