Two Big Milestones July 28, 2008
Posted by Emily in : Family, Friends, Holidays, Little Man Dallin, My Handsome Husband, Princess Hannah, Saba, Thoughts, Utah , trackbackI’m not exactly known as a “super thoughty person” who always plans really cool stuff for birthdays, anniversaries, and other important events. (People like me for other reasons, like for shopping and fashion advice and every once in a while, someone actually appreciates my knowledge of useless celebrity facts). So this shouldn’t be a surprise to many of you, but two milestones worth mentioning went unmentioned.
The first was our 11th anniversary. It’s not that we didn’t celebrate, because we totally did by power shopping (which is my least favorite kind of shopping for the record) and getting a yummy shake at Iceburg. Fun, huh? It’s not that we didn’t want to celebrate, and it’s not that the 11th anniversary is lame, it’s more like WE’RE LAME. Dallin was home sick, (we had three doctor appointments that day, NOT KIDDING) and I just didn’t feel like leaving my 10 day old newborn for an entire evening. Especially since he was sick! Next year, I promise to celebrate better. Hear that David? Mark your calendar, because our 12th anniversary is going to be AWESOME!
One detail worth noting: I got my original wedding ring sized to fit me (it was like eight sizes too small). I haven’t worn it in about seven years (I’m embarrassed to admit this) and I’m glad to have it back on my finger.
Also, David had a birthday last week. Not a significant one (you know like, entering a new decade) but a birthday none the less. Too bad for David, his birthday was completely overshadowed by Hannah’s birthday party. He better get used to it right?
On his birthday, David gave me a hug and said, “I want to grow old with you.” And I was all, um, that already happened.
David bought himself a golf club (one he really wanted, or needed, or whatever) and told me it was his birthday present from me.
THANK YOU FOR GETTING ME OFF THE HOOK.
I know he loves this specific golf club, because he thanks me for it every time he comes home from playing golf. I just smile and and give him the look that says, I’m an awesome wife. I let you buy your own presents, and then allow you to thank me for it. It’s kind of like saying, hey, I’M TOTALLY PAYING ATTENTION TO YOUR NEEDS.
I’m pathetic. I’ll try harder next year.

I am totally impressed that you even went on any kind of date 10 days after your baby. I thought I bounced back quickly, but not that fast! Congrats to all the bdays and anniversary, sounds like our summer. Love all the cute pics by the way!
I love reading your posts. You crack me up.
Haha! You make me laugh! And, you sound a lot like me!
No need to try again later! Those are the best gifts-getting exactly what you want! My husband usually just takes me shopping (this is for all occasions besides Valentine’s day) lets me pick out what exactly I want, and then wraps it up to give on that day. But then I think, “no surprises?”, but he always seems to have gotten me something small that means more then the actual presents I have picked out. I guess that is part of getting old.
