Our Wonderful Years...

Over the course of the average lifetime you meet a lot of people. Some of them stick with you through thick and thin. Some weave their way through your life and disappear forever. But once in a while someone comes along who earns a permanent place in your heart.

Brown hair, brown eyes. When she smiled, I smiled. When she cried, I cried. Every single thing that happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with her. After all, she was my girl. And I knew that she understood that in some small way my achievements were her achievements.

A little bit of vacation prep....

So, as I'm sitting here on the floor of the apartment, Steven is busy working on our "Annual Anniversary Playlist"...

We like to incorporate a few traditions to our Anniversary celebration each year and this is one that is both fun and interesting. We have some songs that always make it on the list like:

  • Into the Mystic- Our first dance song.
  • Brighter Than Sunshine- a mutual favorite that Keith sings background vocals on.
  • Change of Heart- Gotta love Petty!
  • Romeo and Juliette- A classic for us.
This year we have some additions that come from places that other people might find unlikely. For example:
  • Kiss on my list- Hall and Oates, This is from a totally fun scene in "She's Outta My League", which we both find hilarous and have to sing along to.
  • Several Glee tracks, 'Its My Life/Confessions and Don't Stop Believing'- We LOVE this show so much and it is so much fun to sing along in the car and pretend that we are amazing vocalists.
  • The Theme from Duck Tails- Because we bought it on DVD and watched it this year.
  • The Theme from Firefly- Also watched this year and LOVED it.
  • Here with You- The theme from "Roswell" and totally up Julie's alley!
  • The Theme from Mario Brothers- Because Steven literally played for an hour each day this spring on the Wii. Hilarious.
Yesterday I made brownies and muffins to prep for Steven having the entire week off. Then this morning I made cookies and slaw for our picnic tomorrow. We will not be missing out on any food, that is for sure. We're always looking forward to time off, but this year our "Road Trip" vacation is going to be really special. Keep on the lookout for some awesome photos.
