anniversary extravaganza plans are shaping up nicely

our five-year wedding anniversary is at the end of next month. i wanted to do something awesome for it and it looks like i'll get my wish. i know you guys are waiting with baited breath to know what we're doing

we're going to friday and saturday of riot fest and the plan (money dependent) is to get down there thursday, maybe get room service for dinner and then sleep in friday before heading to the festival. i want to hit the museum or something after we leave the hotel on sunday, but i think we'll just be too blown out for that.

we haven't gone out of town (i don't count visiting my mother) in a few years and it will be nice to get away. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!

eta: i'm hoping for nice weather, but it can be anywhere from snow to 90 degrees and we'll have to be prepared for anything.

our anniversary is the only thing we celebrate. we don't do birthdays or valentine's day and christmas isn't much of a big deal, but we always do something special for our anniversary.

he hoarded his tip money to get me tickets for the night of the festival i wanted to see and i picked up a booth gig at the highlands festival next weekend, so i'll be able to get the tickets for the night he wants to see. he hates crowds and it just reminds me how lucky i am to have someone willing to do that for me.

travel lately to Amsterdam (yeah, fun) as his company has an office there and I forgot our anniversary when he was away.

Ran errands the day of and came home to a bouquet of roses and daisies on our front door.

Happy Anniversary, and have a great time!
