have i mentioned today that i love my husband?

today is nine years since our first not-a-date. i'm so happy he stole my phone number off of his roommate's caller id and asked me to hang out with him - you know, since he was new in town and didn't know anyone. we have been nearly inseparable since then and it has been a truly happy nine years.

(and might i just say how much i miss being that flippin' small?!)

love my husband!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, HUSBAND!!!! he gave me the most fabulous gift, too. he called last night and said he was at the airport on his way home to me! that's a whole forty-eight hours sooner than i expected him!! i was so excited, i completely drove past the mall i was headed to and had to u-turn several miles later when i realized that i wasn't paying any attention to where i was going. when i asked if something was going wrong with work he said no, he just told the customer that he wanted to be with his wife on our anniversary. what a wondereful boy i've got! after getting this terrific news, i finished my shopping and headed over to my cousin's for friendly poker and guitar hero night. i then less-than-patiently waited around for my hubby to call requesting his airport pickup. he called just after midnight and he was in my arms by 00:30. it is so, so nice to have my hubby back. he snuggles so much better than a pillow.

wii played

HAPPY 2^nd ANNIVERSARY, BRUDDER & SIS-N-LAW!!! funny for it to only be their second anniversary when they've been together thirteen years. kinda like how it seems strange that our fourth anniversary is coming up when we've been together almost nine years. and to celebrate our very special 4^th anniversary... you guessed it... dental cleanings for the happy couple! whew! do we know how to live it up or what? unfortunately, someone's work schedule has been a planning nightmare lately and i had to schedule something. i figured that week was the safest because we have furniture being delivered on the 13^th so we have to be here, right? so, of course, the only day that they had back-to-back appointments open was our anniversary. i'm not looking forward to this dental visit either. the only dentist in our relative area that is on our insurance AND taking new patients does not sound like someone i want to go to. yep, i know, that sounds horribly prejudiced. the thing is, with a doctor i wouldn't mind but i have had TERRIBLE experiences with foreign dentists. i'm not one to fear the chair but i'm just not looking forward to this. in other news, we broke out our wii last night and our miis got to play a little. we each did our little fitness test gigs to find out our mii's ages. no i will not say what my mii scored but it was an improvement over my previous mii's performance at my cousin's house. stupid wii baseball. after obtaining our respective ages, we each tried a little golf as we had not wii-golfed before. i actually liked it. i got the hang of it and even managed to birdie a hole. unfortunately, it looks like my poor boy is going to have to wait until almost july before getting his jam on with rock band. however, he will get to do some rehearsals ps2-style with my nephews this weekend. that's right, we've confirmed our reservations and we're headed to orlando. really, we are. and i've heard that the broken man-child has been working on his one-armed drumming à la rick allen from def leppard (hmmm, think he's ever heard of them?). anyhow, anyone wanna get together next week?

furnishing

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, SANDRA & TONY!!! today was a happy day. our bedroom furniture came in and looks fabulous. we also got a dining room hutch that looks perfect with our dining room table. this place is really starting to look nice. as far as furnishing, it is far nicer than our old house. well, that and the location and the view. i'm just happy to have this place start feeling livable. and not a moment too soon with our first company coming in tomorrow night.
