to my beloved

When we met, you caught me by surprise. Everyone told me love would come when I least expected it, but I didn't believe them. I had given up. I had come to terms that I would never find the right guy. And, yet, here we are.

It's hard to believe it's been 20 years. What's harder to believe is that we made it through the worst of those years. Sometimes I wondered and I'm not even sure how it happened, but I am so thankful that we survived.

Looking back I realize now that we've really grown up together. We've learned how to live with each other. We've learned how to laugh with each other. We've learned how to talk through disagreements and when to leave it alone. We've toughed it out and fought tooth and nail for the place we have reached in our life and our marriage. It has made us stronger and it has made us love each other better.

Happy Anniversary, baby. I love you and I believe you when you say the best is yet to come!!!

It was suggested in the comments of the previous post that, for our anniversary, I should buy RL a Platinum CD. So I did some research (cause, ya know, I'm all about that) and decided to put it to a vote. Which Platinum CD should I get him?

• Mosnters of Rock
• KISS (Kiss My Ass) Double Platinum
• David Bowe
• Naughty Platinum Rock
• Queen Greatest Hits
• Uriah Heep
• Monster Ballads

Available for a limited time.

in & out shopping

I think I've mentioned before how shopping is not one of my favorite things. Don't get me wrong, I don't really hate shopping . . . ok, actually I do. Though I have had the occasional mother/daughter shopping trips, strolling for hours through the mall or down a quaint street with dozens of shops and boutiques to wonder in and out of never purchasing a thing. *takes deep breath* But usually I would rather just go into the store, get what I need, and get out.

Then came the internet. OMG!! I never thought shopping could be so easy. For RL's birthday I searched the world wide web over for just the PS2 game he wanted and found it at at local store (because I was a procastinator and didn't have time to wait for it to be delivered to the house). I called, asked if they had the game in stock (the last one!), and if they would hold it for me. When I got to store that evening after work I walked in, picked up the game from customer service, paid, and was out the door. Love it, love it, love it!

Later this month RL and I will be celebrating our anniversary. So after having such good luck for his birthday I decided I would see what I could find online for our anniversary. I did a little research and discovered we'd be celebrating our platinum year (20th) and wondered what I could find. Unfortunately, I can't afford the platinum jewelry and I don't think the platinum box set of Cinderella would be quite appropriate. I opted, rather, for a non-platinum item that will arrive in my mailbox, before the eventful day, covered (hopefully) in a plain brown wrapper. And , let's face it, shopping for more intimate items is just so much easier online than in person.

I love technology
