Special Dates

Life is filled with memorable dates. Birth dates, Blessing dates, Baptism dates, First dates, Wedding dates, death dates, etc. etc., you see where I am going with this. We celebrate or mark these special dates in our lives in different ways, depending on the reason the date is memorable. Sometimes it's a happy joyful day, sometime a day for reflection and tears. Sometimes both. My life is marked by dates. Each one special and I hope meaningful in some way. I hope I can make each day of my life a special date, just to be alive, a wife, mother and a friend.

I celebrated one of these special dates this past week. My 21st wedding anniversary!! Wow, it has been a long time and not so long. I felt this special date warranted a little tribute to my "Sweetheart".

L....Lascivious ;) and Laughter.

Need I say more. Both a major requirement in a happy relationship. If necessary get a dictionary.

I....Invaluable

'To valuable to be measured, priceless.'

He is this to me. I don't know where I would be without him in my life every day.

N....Noble

He always lives his life with integrity and has taught this to our children.

Have a high moral standard.

C....Chief

He is the chief of our home. He has always been a good provider and takes charge of whatever needs to be done. (that I don't want to do)

He can fix anything, and if he doesn't know how he gets a book.

O....Observant

He is the king of remembering all things. (good and bad, lol) He gives me the greatest gifts. Things I have said I wanted or needed. Things I can't even remember. He remembers anything and everything special and makes a big deal out of it. He even makes a big deal out of dinner and notices when I clean house or do yard work.

L....Love

Can't leave out this one. It is just too obvious. I love him! I love him!

He shows love to me and our children in so many ways.

N....Nut

He is a nut. A tease! He laughs and teases continually.

Sometimes the girls can't take it anymore. :)

He says the craziest things. (beware)

Now that I have been cheesy and mushy and all those things. I will just say I am grateful for the day he came into my life and for the past 22 years. (counting the 1 year of courtship) I look forward to at least 22 more. And eternity. Check out my Sweetheart Tag post a few before this one for a cute picture.
