A 4th Anniversary…

Posted under How I See It, Wife by Mike

Holly Toledo, I’ve been very neglectful of this blog.  I hope everyone had the best holidays.  Mine were great with family and friends around to make the season and the New Year festive this year. 

My wife and I last week celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary.  For those keeping track, the 4th anniversary is celebrated with fruits, flowers or…. appliances?  We’ll she got a new grind and brew coffee maker for Christmas and I wasn’t about to get her another one for our anniversary.  For some reason an appliance seems like the wrong thing to buy.  “Happy anniversary, here is that brand new vacuum you wanted.”  I’ve been married way too long to fall into that trap.

But my wife, bless her, came up with a great anniversary gift for me.  She took the fruit theme and ran with it.  She bought me a bottle of Gran Marnier (a liqueur), two small bottles of fruit infused vodka (one orange, one lemon), a dark chocolate bar with raspberry filling, a cherry flavored cigar (yeah, a cigar) and the best was a package of “Fruit of the Loom” boxer shorts. 

If that doesn’t scream love, I don’t know what does…
