It’s our wedding anniversary this Gratituesday!
What I am actually most excited about this year is that while soccer season has usually already started by the time our anniversary rolls around, this year it begins the day after. Wasn’t that thoughtful of the calendar to work with us this year? (Remember our 17th anniversary? While we couldn’t be together that day since Matt was away at a pre-season soccer retreat, I think that still may be one of my favorite anniversary memories.)
This year, we get to be together! And so, we’ll spend our special day schooling the kids, working on our rental properties, painting our house, doing everything we can to get ahead so that our busiest season of the year will go more smoothly. Then come evening, we’ll steal away without the kids to use a gift card at a local restaurant, and enjoy time to eat together and have real and uninterrupted conversation.
Soccer season? Bring it on. But the evening before during our special date time? It’s all about us. 19 years and looking forward to many more!

This is my first time linking up. If my post doesn’t fit what you were thinking for this link up, please let me know via email. :) Thanks!
I posted Control vs. Authority: A Husband’s Insight. I am currently on a mobile device that is rather frustrating when it comes to adding html links, but I will add the link back to my post as soon as I am able to get on the computer. :)

Technically, that’s not really the kind of post that fits the Gratituesday theme. We’re looking for posts that share “here’s what I’m thankful for this week” rather than just informative posts. Since yours is of a spiritual nature, I’ll leave it for this time. But if in the future you write a more personal “I’m grateful for..” post, that would be great!

Happy 19th anniversary Laura. I love the picture. It was mine and John’s 19th year anniversary also on June 11th. He was out of town for our big day. We celebrated later!!! We went to Seattle for my niece and new nephew’s wedding. My sister kept the kids so we had a week by ourselves. We went to Las Vegas for 4 days and then we went home and had a few days just the 2 of us which we have never done. It was very much needed than we got our kids back and it was a happy reunion.
Sheila says
Happy anniversary! :)
My husband and I will celebrate our 19th in September. He’s also a soccer coach and so we rarely get to celebrate on the actual day. But eventually he’ll have a day off and we’ll go on a date. :)
I appreciate your blog so much!
Stacy Williams says
Happy Anniversary!!! In September will be our 19th anniversary, right in the middle of soccer season. But like you said it is always fun no matter what as long as you get to do it together! Here’s to many more!!
