It's Been 17 Years

Can you believe it?  Doug & I celebrated 17 years together on Sept. 11.  It has flown by.  We had a pretty relaxing day.   The three of us - Doug, Ryan & I went out to eat at Black Angus where we always split a steak - Prime Rib.  Yum!  Then in the evening we went to a favorite frozen yogurt place - Ocean Blue with some friends, The Anderson's, and my brother.  I took pictures at lunch, but was having a fun time chatting and such for the dessert that I totally forget to even get my camera out.  Sorry about that.

My flowers and card from Doug

Doug, Ryan and I waiting for our lunch.

Even the dogs got an anniversary treat - a nap on the couch with Doug.  He tried to nap while I watched The Bourne Identity.  Really who can sleep through that movie?  So much action!

It's Been 16 years!!!

This past Friday, Doug & I celebrated our 16th anniversary. Our anniversary is on 9-11. although we had already been married several years before it became 9-11. And on that fateful day, we were actually not together, he was across the country for work and had to try to fly home from Florida. It was a very interesting anniversary.

Mother's Day Flowers

Some flowers from Mother's Day. We had a nice day. I even got to take a 2 hour nap before we went to my parent's house to spend the evening there. Some of my family was there also. We had dinner and visited for a long time. It was very nice.

Flowers in the kitchen:

These flowers are in the bathroom. I love purple (in case you didn't know that already). Our bathroom is all green and purple and these flowers look beautiful in that setting. I actually took these pics almost a week after Mother's Day and am amazed at how fresh and beautiful they still look:
