Tomorrow marks a wedding anniversary with hubster and myself.\u00a0 Usually we would celebrate the day by him purchasing and grilling rib eye steaks while I made either loaded baked or garlic mashed potatoes and a green salad or veggie.<\/p>\n
This will by my first November 10th alone.\u00a0 Without the hubs, things will be very different.\u00a0 I won’t think about our long ago struggle to purchase wedding rings in the correct sizes (without resizing) or originally planning to get married on 11-11-77 (lucky numbers) but having to move it one day earlier because of Veterans Day.\u00a0 I won’t give a thought to my father-in-law presenting me a corsage saying ‘every bride should have flowers’ and welcoming me to his family.\u00a0 I won’t remember our lunch break jaunt to the courthouse or the shortage of cash to pay the license\/judge’s fee (it cost more than anticipated) and the funds contributed by total strangers also waiting to be married.<\/p>\n
No, I won’t think about these things……MUCH.<\/p>\n
Instead, I will be a little sad without him but thankful for the many years we were together.<\/p>\n
The house is too quiet and my memories too loud.\u00a0 I definitely need a distraction!<\/p>\n
