Six years already

Today six years ago I convinced the best man in this world to marry me for time and all eternity. I opened the card from Daryl's mom she mentioned how she hoped the weather would be just as beautiful today as the day we were married. I stopped to look outside and that she mentioned it, it was, it was just like that day. With a crisp chill to the air but warm with snow covering the ground.

The farther we come from that day the less I remember about it, I was looking at the pictures of that day just this last weekend with Paiglee. A lot has changed since that day, we were both so much thinner. I commented tonight how looking back I wish we would have enjoyed being young a little more. Daryl reminded me of how he tried to get us to. Oh how I only lived for the moment and not for the future. The future wasn't on my radar then. Six years from then weren't even a fore thought to me, I knew I married for eternity but I was in the moment. I look back on our six years and am in awe at all that has transpired. If there were do-over’s we would both re-do something. But we both agree we have learned and gained so much from the last six years. I have always said I love my life and it was what I pictured, to be honest I don't know what I pictured but it has been better than I could have imagined six years ago. We both look at our wedding pictures and the word naive and I guess innocent come to mind. I think "Oh how we had not even a clue". It would be fun to go back and live a bit longer not having a clue.

To celebrate we went to Bonzai, and it was nice. Daryl bought me flowers and chewy spree's, I love them. I wanted to do a candy bouquet for Daryl but the flower place didn't do them. So he got flowers (hahaha...funny I know) with his favorite Peanut M&M's. The traditional gifts for six years of marital bliss are candy and iron. We did the candy, I told Daryl I think it would be fun to try to stick to the traditional anniversary gifts or even the modern. Not only is it kind of fun but it gives you a specific idea as what to get, so you aren't left thinking what do I get. I know one thing, it will be the first and last time I ever buy Daryl flowers ( I still chuckle at it). We got a good laugh from it, Daryl said he didn't see that coming. I chalk it up to pregnancy, I can't make well informed decisions. We may have not blown the top off with the celebrating, but it was a good sixth anniversary. Simplicity!
