It hardly seems possible that 8 years have passed since that day. And yet so much has happened in that time.

I loved our wedding cake. Since Joe and I both collect teddy bears we got a Cherished Teddy cake topper. I've never seen another wedding cake with teddies on the top. It was so us.
We had such plans for today. But... Yes, it's still Joe's back. He was in a lot of pain and not able to get out of bed until this afternoon. *sigh* So going out to breakfast was out. So was going out to lunch.
Yesterday when I got home from work I found a beautiful red rose that Joe had gotten me for our anniversary. He had walked to the store while I was at work. That was so very sweet of him.
Today he gave me a beautiful card.
We were going to go to a nice, romantic restaurant in New Jersey for dinner tonight. But when Joe finally got up he still wasn't 100%. I didn't want to chance being so far away from home, so suggested we just go to the Country Club. That way we were only 15 minutes from home. So that is what we did. Joe had prime rib and I had veal francaise. It was good.

I was going to take a selfie of us together in the parking lot, but when we went outside it was pretty dark. When did it start getting dark at 7:30? And it was black out by the time we got home at 8:00. It was chilly too. I guess summer is really over.
In spite of everything, it's been a nice day. (I even got to take a nap!) It's back to work tomorrow, then I'm taking a few days off. I'm looking forward to that.

Happy Anniversary! The photos are still beautiful. That day was a beautiful one. I'm sorry to hear
ReplyDeleteJoe is still in pain. I hope it heals soon. His salad does look yummy,almost too pretty to eat...not! I know that while those may not have been your original I think it all worked out. I love naps!
Love is for sharing! Enjoy!
Thanks, Deb. I'm glad you were a part of that day. At least we had dinner together.
DeleteHappy Anniversary! Time really does fly. Enjoy your days off and do something fun together :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Larry. I hope we can. We are thinking of going to Lancaster on Thursday. Maybe OC on Friday. We'll see how his back is.
DeleteHappy 8th Anniversary, Kathy. I hope Joe gets some relief. Pain especially back pain is not fun as we all know.
