5 years of marriage...


“You do know it was our anniversary today right?”  I pose this question to my husband as I get ready for bed, surprised that he hasn't even so much as given me a "happy anniversary" at some point today.  To be accurate the whole last week was has been our anniversary, as we got married twice: one week apart from one another. Thursday, July 31, 2008 then again Friday, August 8, 2008. Since 8-8-08 was the day we wanted to get married we usually just tell people that's our anniversary. However, since I've become more needy, or decided to start acting out more on my suppressed woman-ly feelings I celebrate the whole week as our nuptial anniversary. I cooked him dinner. The fact that I do this most nights all year around, should not take away from the splendor of my cooking dinner. I also got him some things for his new foam truck. Does a work gift count as an anniversary gift? I'll go with yes, for him and no, for me.

“I know.” He says. Silence as I stare at him. “What? Was I supposed to get you something or do something?”

“Uh, yeah, something.” I say. So I post this exchange on Facebook thinking someone would school him on proper etiquette for celebrating and cherishing his wife on the fifth anniversary of their vows. Crickets. Not a single response from anyone. Seriously? No comment from the pack of facebook fanatics we are friends with with? From the same people who share every idiotic “Share if you think your kids are cute” or, “Like if you want God to give you a miracle” post?  *Sigh* I guess I'm on my own with this one.
 
Still, I'm surprised.  The comment, “Change the quarterback Bo Pelini PLEASE!” about a college football game will draw more than 30 comments. It's a bunch of minors running around with a ball instead of setting a good example and studying. Who cares? Apparently, the entire state.   But I'll save my feeling about sports for another day.
