Happy Anniversary To Me!

Today is our wedding anniversary. I can't believe how life has changed in the few years that Rich and I have been together! Our first date was in December of 2006 and we married on May 16, 2008. A mutual friend told me that she has gone on a date with him and that "she had met the guy for me." I wouldn't even let her introduce us. Imagine how smug she was when we started dating a few months later!

I am so blessed to have married such a steady, supportive, loving & hardworking man. Rich is so good to me and works very hard to provide everything that he thinks I need or want. We are still kids at heart. We are always goofing off and joking around. Those of you who KNOW him know how much he loves candy. Not just any candy--the "kid" kind. Mega Candy Buttons, Giant lollipops, Pez, etc. I have gotten him all kinds of gifts since we have been together. Nice, grown-up gifts. But this year I decided to go outside the norm. I decided to make a giant candy bouquet/basket for him. I went to the Treat Boutique at Pembroke Lakes Mall. You can see their website HERE. I filled up his basket with all kinds of things: FunDip, Giant & medium lollipops, candy necklaces, jawbreakers--giant, medium, and small, giant and medium gumballs, Pixie Straws, Extreme Airheads, all kinds of bulk gummy candies, all kinds of bulk hard candies, rock candy, so much stuff I can't even think of it all. Yesterday I mentioned to him in passing that I hadn't bought anything for him for our anniversary. :) I said, "well, babe, I mean is there anything you really NEED?" heehee. He totally bought it, I'm pretty sure.

I'm sure he will be very surprised at what I got for him this year. It's totally out of the norm for me. :) Hopefully this will be enough candy to last AWHILE!!
