Earlier this week, my husband and I celebrated our eighth wedding anniversary and thirteen years together. Yes, both milestones really do fall on the same day! We did not have a big wedding, which means we don’t have huge anniversary celebrations or spoil ourselves with super expensive dinners. Instead, its important to us to make each day count. I don’t need jewelry or a bouquet of roses to know he loves me, because he shows me every day by being thoughtful.
When he does give me a gift, it’s usually something that makes me laugh or ties into something I mentioned weeks ago. This year, he made me smile by drawing one of my very favorite things: Simon’s Cat. He sketched a scene from a cartoon entitled “Sticky Tape,” because he knows it’s a video I adore and watch repeatedly.

How cute is that?
He also threw in an adorable card (with pugs!) and some double-stick tape so I can make some great new collages. I’ll take a gift like this over flowers any day!
It’s the little things that keep a marriage strong!

p.s. I got him a long overdue back rub and total authority over the remote control. As a bonus, I watched Top Shot with him without asking if we could change the channel.
