Happy Anniversary to Me!

Yesterday was the 16th anniversary of the day Dan and I were married.

Holy moley. We are some old people.

It can be a bit difficult to celebrate the occasion when you are half a planet away, but we did our best.

The boy and I went out to dinner with our good friends. And we had a hoot of a good time.

I'm sure Dan celebrated by eating some delicious dinner at an Army dining facility! And he sent me these...



Oh yes, folks... those are chocolate covered strawberries.



Loads of HUGE chocolate covered strawberries skewered into a cute little flowerpot.

I think I'll keep him. 16 years is a long time to train somebody.

After consuming several of these lovelies, I said (out-loud),

"Thanks honey! You sent a great present!" (You know, 'cause he can hear me all the way over there.)

The boy then says (with a little dance),

"Daddy is AWESOME!!"

I'm thinking, "Awwww.... how sweet. He recognizes the love his father has for his mother..." (Should have known better.)

Oh but no.

Because he adds,

"Daddy sent a present with sticks!"

16 years? I mean I was there, it was not that long ago!!! Judging from my age though, it probably was. Congratulations, and yes I do believe Dan chose the perfect present :P
