Silk

Today is my 12th wedding anniversary! Even though a lot has happened in the past twelve years, the time has gone by quickly.

We're postponing going somewhere until the end of the summer. Gregg has had to get so much time off for doctors appointments and procedures lately (and still a couple more to go later this month) that he just can't take any extra time off right now. We're thinking about a small trip to the mointains around the first of August, right before school starts back.

As for today, I'm making Gregg one of his favorite meals. Don't laugh, but we're having meatloaf and real mashed potatoes for dinner! Not exactly the height of romance, I'll admit, but he'll be pleased with it. For dessert we're having banana pudding. Gregg loves banana pudding, but I can take it or leave it....which makes it perfect, since I'm on a diet. I'll be making a double batch since he loves it so much, and has no problems with weight gain to worry about! How's that for an anniversary dinner? :)

I'm so incredibly lucky to be married to my best friend. Picking him has turned out to be the very best decision of my life!

Happy Anniversary, my love. Here's to the next twelve happy years together! ❤

Meat loaf and mashed potatoes and banana pudding sound perfect!
I am making my own sweet husband a coconut cream pie this afternoon. He will be so happy.
As I have said before- we are the lucky ones.
Happy anniversary and many, many more!

Happy Anniversary, Jennifer and Gregg. I love “love stories”. I hope you both have a wonderful day.

My Retired Man’s Favorite meal is meat loaf and mashed potatoes. I bet that if you polled 100 men, 98 would choose that also. The other two would be vegetarians.

Are mointains similar to mountains?

I love meatloaf. Meatloaf and mashed tatties and banana pudding sounds pretty damn good to me! Especially when someone else is doing the cooking. Happy Anniversary!
