This is my way of subtle hinting to my hubby of what would be good ideas for our anniversary because he reads my blog sometimes.
DH (that's you honey, Dear Husband 'cause I feel freaky using your name on-line) First, thanks for the last five years. Most of them have beeen pretty good, and we don't need to rehash what could have made those freaky ones a little better. Most of the time, it's pretty fun hanging out with you. You're still my favorite person to spend time with! Thanks also, for being really patient with my idiosynchrasies, because I know I have many. In fact, my mom is absolutely amazed that you can put up with me. Of course, being my mom she also thinks that you're lucky to have me! Interesting paradox. I guess that is probably one of the first things that cements you and I as a family unit now. You get that paradox. You know most of my bad habits (I may have a few more hidden away to keep the next few years interesing) and you love me anyway. And I know most of yours and still love you! One request though, please make sure that YOUR remaining secret bad habits aren't going to totally freak me out, okay!
Now, down to business. For the first two years, I organized all the celebration stuff, picking the wine, buying the cheese and making our picnic lunch. I do realize you went above and beyond for year 2 by carrying that huge picnic basket for over a kilometer. Full props for that. And I don't expect you to do any scrapbooking stuff like I did either. Year three was our extremo stresso when we totally spaced on the date to the point that when mom apologized for being late to congratulate us I had no clue what she was talking about. Then there was last year, when we celbrated our anniversary with a phone call becuase you wre working in Japan and I was finishing out the school year in Canada.
Now we have this year. We are in the same country. We don't have too much stress. There isn't particulary anything that I want except to have a romantic, memorable evening with you. Pretty much anything is okay, as long as it doesn't contain the following: our local ramen joint, soccer games, hamburgers of any kind. While these things are all good, it's more routine. Suggestions include: chocolate or some kind of cake so you can get your sugar fix, red wine, ambience. May I suggest the Four Seasons Hotel, or related Chinzan-so (03) 3943-2222 or (03) 3943-1140 for romantic dinner with firefly viewing in the Japanese garden?
Well, look forward to what you plan. Love b.
