Happy Anniversary to Us!! (And other stuff)

OK, so technically our anniversary was on March 8th, the date of my last post. I had intended to post the update that I did and follow up with a separate post about our anniversary. We see how well that worked!!

In any event, we have now passed the 14-year mark in our marriage. We've had some ups & downs, good times & bad...but through it all we have always been there for each other, and I think we're stronger as a couple than we ever have been. Brandon is truly my best friend, and I know I'd be lost without him! Check out the photo I found and scanned last week...What a couple of kids we were!!

So anyway, Brandon had orientation for his new job last Monday & Tuesday, training at his new job Wednesday & Thursday, and worked his last two shifts at his old job Friday & Saturday...Needless to say, there wasn't much time for celebrating. We had a mini-anniversary dinner on Tuesday at home with Greek takeout, a bottle of wine, and "The Event." This Friday, we have reservations for our real anniversary dinner at a restaurant we've both wanted to try for a long time. More on how that goes later! :)

Friday I enjoyed a little girls' night out in Florence with Jeannie & her daughter Madilyn. We hit Hobby Lobby & JoAnn's, really stocking up on the clearance racks. Check out the stash I got, which included 6 new sets of stamps, a gorgeous paper stack, chipboard, and a new Cuttlebug folder, plus a few other things, all for just under $40. Now I just need to make the time to sit at my scrapbook and use it! In addition to the craft stores, we also hit Aldi & Target (two of our favorites) and ate dinner at Crocodile Ed's. It was a fun night!

Saturday evening, my friend Kim came over with a movie. We ordered pizza and watched The Soloist. It wasn't exactly what I had expected, but Jamie Foxx did an awesome job in his role. And I love Robert Downey, Jr. Even if the movie wasn't the greatest, I did enjoy the company...I still owe her an apology for falling asleep though. Sorry, Kim!!
