It was our 16th Anniversary this past Friday. We didn’t do much–although we did exchange gifts. Well, technically he didn’t get to open anything since his gift is still on it’s way… so really it was just me opening gifts. Ha! But it was still fun! He gave me a lovely set of wind chimes (nice and low sounding–high ones drive me crazy) and a new tablet! I’ve never had my own tablet, so that was quite a surprise. I’m not entirely sure what I’ll do with a tablet, but my first thought was how excited I was to use it to cook. When I look up recipes on my phone the screen is so tiny to read the directions. So, I’m very excited to use it for that. And, like almost every other gift that I’m not so sure I’ll use, I end up loving and using all the time. TIm is an excellent gift buyer and knows me better than I usually know myself. 🙂
(I can’t share what his gift is just yet. It should be arriving in the next day or two. I’m excited to give it to him. He says he’s not sure what it is… but I don’t believe him. He’s very clever and usually guesses my gifts… )
We are going out to a fancy restaurant on Wednesday as a double date with our friends (the ones who’s dogs we were watching coincidentally) so I’m calling that our Anniversary date. It wasn’t practical to go out on a date on Friday and then again on Wednesday…
In random other news: I made homemade oatmeal creme pies for the very first time. They were AMAZING. And I’m thrilled because I learned how to make scrumptious butter creme frosting which I plan on making again to frost Josiah’s cake.
I love frosting. In preparation for making Josiah’s cake this week I have watched WAY too many videos on how to make the perfect frosting. I’m so excited to try out some recipes!!!
Aren’t they gorgeous!?
Those look amazing!! I’ll have to get the recipe when I’m there!
