One Year down...

22 years ago

Well, we made it one year! Our anniversary was yesterday, so I guess we aren't newlyweds anymore?

We spent most of the day packing, because we are closing this friday on our new house! Our first home together!

He surprised me by making reservations at a nice seafood restaurant and we had a lovely dinner. We both agreed the house would be our gifts to one another (probably for the next 30 years also!!LOL)

How do you spend anniversaries?

Not sure how easy it is to see, but this is what I have to do every year when I plant. The netting stays on until the plants are big enough to survive having leaves or branches snipped off. Though once they're that big, the birds seem to leave everything alone. Granted, I'm fortunate I'm only dealing with birds. If this were rabbits, gophers or mice, that would seriously suck. Don't know how effective just netting would be against something with arms.

Lovely sense of style! Bravo! We investigated porcelain marble look-alike tile but we decided on real marble which we will have to care for without any acidic products. Beware that there is a repeating pattern in marble look-alike porcelain tile like (on wall paper which will give away the secret.) We found great deals on Amazon and at Lowes for Bianco Carrara subways, pencils, chair rails and floor and shower floor hexes (1/3 the price of tile stores). We found a gorgeous remnant for our shower bench at a marble and stone shop at an amazing price. I can't wait until it's done to post photos! But back to your house... it's gorgeous!

Here are some Obesum seedlings, ~1.5-2 months old. They were transplanted at the 1 month mark, after they had 3-4 pairs of leaves. Some are showing signs of strong branching. And here are a few of the plants from my first batch, about 1 year old. This plant is supposed to have a yellow flower; the leaves/stems on this plant are very light/yellow compared to others. I'm wondering if this is indicative of its *hopefully* yellow flowered heritage. I've seen this on other flowering species. This guy has decidedly pink stems:

Congrats on your one year anniversary and on your new home. We usually just buy each other a card and maybe have a nice dinner out.

Congratulations on the one year. We don't usually go all out for our anniversaries but we get a big present that we both can enjoy - okay not as big as a house, but a tv, refridgerator or a digital camera has been some of our gifts to each other. It seems like after kids the day just doesn't seem as big of a deal to us.

DH doesn't believe in b'days, anniversaries, christmas, etc so, with the exception of a him uttering happy anniversary after he greets me in the morning, it's just like any other day...

Lianne.. that's horrible... Do you mind that he is that way??? Forget for a minute what "he" believes ... what about what you believe? Gee, I think an anniversary is important.. It's a celebration of another year. So many couples don't make it today and when you do.... you should actually celebrate it.. BUT.. if it's okay with you....???? I would just hate to think that it makes you sad?!?!?

Congratulations on your new home!

This year, for our 13th, DH & I had LUNCH together. He's been working on a project at work for the past 18 months (completion date May 15) and that's all he had time for. We usually go out someplace nice for dinner, but not this year.
