...to my and my husband. We made it to 7 years today. What are we doing today to celebrate? Nothing. He's out of town on a business trip.
When we got married, we decided that instead of giving gifts, we would go on a trip every year to celebrate another year of survival as Mr and Mrs. Here's what we've done so far:
Honeymoon - The Poconos in Pennsylvania. We had a fabulous time there and said we would go back for our 5th...butta...we didn't.
1st Anniv - Orlando, Fl. We went to Wet n' Wild and Universal Studios. My husband and I love water parks so this was perfect. We stayed in a resort for a week and had a ball.
2nd Anniv - We had just moved to Texas so we went to San Antonio for an extended weekend. We took the riverboat cruise, went to Natural Bridge Caverns and a wildlife park. We fell in love with San Antonio during that time.
3rd Anniv - We went to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico a couple of weeks before the big day with friends so that served as our trip that year. On our actual day, we went a wonderful little Italian restaurant called La Mora. I love Italian food...it's my favorite.
4th Anniv - My father-in-law had a brain tumor removed on August 11th of that year so I used the time I had taken off work for my anniversary to go to FL and help take care of him. Dwayne went for the surgery and I met him there a couple of days later and stayed longer to help out. I returned to Houston the day before our anniversary. We just went to Galveston to hang out for the day. We went to Moody Gardens and had a fun day.
5th Anniv - We went to Cozumel, Cancun, and Playa del Carmen in Mexico for a week. We had a blast. This time we had company on our trip in the form of our 7 month old daughter. I was nursing her so I didn't want to be gone for that long. She proved to be a wonderful traveling companion.
6th Anniv - I was almost 9 months pregnant with our son so we didn't go on a trip then. We had a low key celebration that just included dinner. In December of that year, we went on a weekend getaway to NY. The grandparents came to Houston and kept the kids.
7th Anniv - We're going to Vegas, baby. We leave this weekend and we're going for a week. Dwayne has family there and his dad is coming to help with the kids and give us a much needed night out (or two). I've never been to Vegas and can't wait to go on this trip.
I can't believe it's already been 7 years since our wedding. I'm still as sure today (if not more so) that I made the best decision when I married that man. Even with his shortcomings and little mess ups, he's the one...
