Much Ado about Something


January 24, 2009
Happy Anniversary to my sweet hubby!We've been married for eight fabulous years. Here's what we did to celebrate:

We let Mimi and Craiger take the kids for the night while we went to dinner at Ruby River (one of our many faves) and then went to see this movie. His choice...I had already seen it! Then we enjoyed a nice peaceful night of sleep without Hudson coming in our room (like he does almost every night). The next morning we actually got to sleep in (until 9:30!)....the best part about the whole thing! After that we went to brunch here. So yummy and somewhere out of the norm. Then we went to go pick up our cute kiddies from their sleepover.

I am truly the luckiest girl in the world. Sorry girls!
Let me just share a quick little every day life example:

I had gotten home from work at about 7:00 on a Saturday night. I was exhausted from being on my feet all day and could tell I was getting sick. The kids wanted me from the second I walked in the door. I sat down on Hudson's bedroom floor to play with them while Steve proceeded to bring me comfy clothes (without me asking) and went in the kitchen to make me dinner.

After getting the boys to bed, I remembered I our bed needed sheets put back on it...always the worst thing for me! I walked in our room ready to start the chore, when what should I see, but the bed waiting for me with fresh sheets on, turned down for me to crawl in, with a snack laid on my pillow. Here is a picture of it.

I hope I'm not embarrassing my cutie pie, but seriously...he's the best! I quietly yelled downstairs (where he was) that I loved him and thanked him so much, when he said: "Wait!" Then he proceeded to run up the stairs and pull an icy cold glass of chocolate milk out of the fridge to go along with my snack. Told you he was the best!


And like my uncle always says about guys like him: "That is definitely NOT the norm."

Love him, love him, love him!

*So tell me...what's great about your guy? Spill it!

WOW!! He is awesome!! I remember right after you got married and we we were doing alumni, you showed us your cute wedding video. I also remember you telling me whenever you came home from work, he always had a hot bubble bath ready with chocolate dipped strawberries waiting just for you. That is great knowing he still is doing that kind of stuff for you. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY GUYS!!

Hailey, I was just thinking about your reception this last week as we were planning Betsy's and remembering how beautiful yours was. Your Steve is such a doll. What a perfect husband! Congratulations on your anniversary. It sounded absolutely delightful. Mimi and Craiger are the best!

You guys are so cute! Rob's a sweetheart but I don't see him doing that!!! We need to plan our late night movie still!

Oh, what a cutie Steve-o is! You're definitely right--he is NOT the norm! Although getting Briski to make me a snack in the shape of a face would be tough, he definitely won points with me when he let me throw a mini-fit in the middle of a ski slope, helped me get down, then carried my all my ski junk back to the rental place since I was done for the day. Needless to say, I don't think I'll be skiing any time soon!

Congrats! I can't believe that it has already been 8 years! It is crazy how fast time has gone by! It sounds like a very fun anniversary!

How cute is that?! Happy Anniversary, guys!

Stevo is quite the catch! I bet all this attention is making him blush! I want that snack on my pillow! I'm glad you've had 8 great years together. So I'll spill something cute about Johnny-he always offers to take Gretel and give her a bath, put her to sleep, and do whatever he can to be with her...he's a natural! And the best part of it all is spying on him singing his favorite childhood song to her, "When teddy bears have a picnic."

I loved the snack face, very clever of Steve.
ps: thanks for doing my hair on your anniversary, it made me feel like a lucky girl too!
