We celebrated our 40th Anniversary on Tuesday!
It was one I'm sure we won't forget soon!
I took our Rascal dog to the groomer on Monday and 'surprise' we have....fleas!
So...... we got to buy spray for the dogs, spray for the carpet and furniture and spray for outside and THAT'S what we did for our anniversary!
sigh...... Good thing we don't get to hung up on celebrating on THE DAY of something!
But LAST Night......
Kimi came over with a gift from all our girls and their families. She got elected to deliver because she lives just down the street about a mile or so from us.......
And this is what she delivered!
Heidi had a 'PLAN' and it was super!
40 years = 4 gift cards (one for each decade)
Each gift card = $40 (10 for each decade)
Cool, right? We are so excited.
How did they decide what to get us?
Well, Red Lobster aka Crab Lobster to us (Collin has called it this since he was little)
for dinner - our fav place! hmmmmmm wonder what we will choose?
Gas Light Theatre for a show -
we LOVE LOVE LOVE (did I mention we love??) Melodramas!
We have seen several in West Yellowstone and in Virginia City. Good good times!
And so stinking much fun to 'get into' the whole thing!
Bed Bath and Beyond - because an anniversary is celebrating a wedding and brides and grooms always register at Bed Bath and Beyond, right? So of course! Kimi suggested new towels, Heidi thought about all the kitchen stuff SHE has that need replaced and they have only been married not quite 15 years so my goodness, the shape OURS must be in! Katie hasn't weighed in on it yet!
I'm sure if we have trouble spending it, they will be willing to help!
And Home Depot - ahhhhhh a bit of heaven in our books!
We love to just wander around there and smell the plants and all that yummy fresh cut wood smell!
I know, we are weird - but since we are BOTH weird in the same way here, it's all good!
And we need to get paint for bathrooms or the guest room or.......
more plants for the yard? A neat planter? oooooo I know, A FOUNTAIN!
(Wonder what Dellas will want to get? New saw, any new power tool.... hmmmmm)
On Monday, we went to Home Depot (before the lovely gift card) to get the lovely flee spray
and found a beautiful little tree!
We decided that we needed to buy it for our anniversary gift to each other! It is really nice and the new growth in the spring comes in red then turns green! And it is an evergreen (not pine/fir kind but AZ kind of evergreen - it will have leaves year round - new come on old drops off) so it will be pretty year round.
I'll get a picture of it and post it when we (ahem.....Dellas...) gets it planted.
So, all in all, we did have a great Anniversary (ignoring the flee stuff!) and are looking forward to the next 40!
