My husband and I have been married for 16 years!
Time doth softly, sweetly glide, when there is love at home.
I love him. He loves me. We have a happy family!
I gave him a 12 days of our anniversary, patterned after the 12 days of Christmas gifts. It was pretty fun and gave us some different and special dates together.
1- "Par" tridge in a pear tree gave us some mini golfing time together. Well, this one didn't turn out as planned since I couldn't find a mini golfing location. Plus also, we couldn't find our Wii Sports. So I improvised and we played a game the kids are fond of: sock golf. We hit socks across the room with the Wii golf controller. Go ahead and laugh, we did!
2- Two turtle doves... This was easy! We have a turtle (okay, a tortoise) and I taped two Dove chocolate bars on her back and placed her in Bob's path. He thought it was hilarious enough to take a few pictures.
3- French Hens.... I made a yummy french toast casserole for breakfast
4- Calling Birds... We went to Chik-Fil-A for dessert (a stretch, but it worked)
5- Golden Rings... a "baker's 5 doughnuts"! He likes raspberry filled, so I bought a 1/2 dozen of them
6- Geese a Laying... We took a walk around a lake and fed the ducks and we even were able to feed a goose! It was a bit of a wild goose hunt!
7- Swans a Swimming... some shower gel (it is a bit cold now to go swimming!)
8- Maids a Milking... Easy Peasy! 8 Milky Ways
9- Ladies Dancing... A new cd on iTunes with 9 ladies singing
10- Lords a Leaping... This was on Sunday, and I still wanted to keep the day holy, so I wrote out my testimony of our Lord and Savior. We leap for joy when we share our testimonies, right?
11- Pipers Piping... The kids and I made pipe cleaner people and had them holding Pirouette cookies and a gift card for dinner
12- Drummers Drumming... A massage! YAY!
We went out for dinner on the day after our anniversary, thank you very much mutual and scouting activities. It was a lovely 13 days, and has been an amazing and awesome 16 years!
I love you Bob!

So you know that you set the bar INCREDIBLY high! I love your thoughtful creativity, but I especially adore your devotion to each other... Thank you for your wonderful example!
16 years ago my oldest daughter married a man, Robert Joel Bush. My life has been blessed immeasurably and eternally because of the union of our two families. I am so thankful for eternal bonds!
What a clever and creative way to express your feelings. I can not express the love and gratitude in my heart for you and your fantastic family. What a blessing you are in my life. As your mom already said "Thank you for your wonderful example." Love you all forever!
