15 Years - wow..............

Well, yesterday was our 15 year wedding anniversary. It is so hard to believe - but you remember you have a thirteen year old son and then it makes more scence. We would have loved to have been able to get away, just the two of us, for a couple of days.........but, when you have kiddos in sports that makes it a little tricky. Plus, since our expensive summer we decided we didn't need to spend any money right now.

We did however set the day aside to spend with each other, which doesn't happen very often. We drove down to Carlsbad for the day. As soon as the kids were off to school we hit the road. Started with a Starbucks of course. We walked downtown Carlsbad thru some of their cute antique shops, a quilting shop, a coin shop & a couple LITTLE scrappy shops (one was so BAD - the other was more of a stamp store but had some great finds in it with lots of 7 gypsies). After that we headed over to Kings Fish House for lunch (where i took the silly picture of us) and the had just a little bit of time to walk thru about half of the outlet shops. I made sure to hit The Gap, Coach, Crate and Barrel...........i was very well behaved, just got some great little t-shirts at the Gap (which were on sale of course). Headed back and made it home right about 3:15.......my sweet friend Laurie helped with getting the kids and it all worked out great!!!

I make sure to remind myself everyday how lucky i am to have my hubby!!! He is so wonderful! We decided no gifts but i did put a little book together for him (real simple - nothing fancy).........he loved it!!!
