Yesterday, December 12, was our 6th wedding anniversary. Paula took the day off from work. We didn't do anything "special" for our anniversary just spent the day together. With money as tight as it is this year we agreed not to buy each other gifts either.
In the morning Paula made some scrambled eggs with shredded ham and cheese in them for breakfast. In the afternoon we went into town and saw the movie "There's Nothing Like The Holidays." Although it was the first day of the film's release there were only 5 people in the theater. I wasn't a bad movie just an early show.
After the movie we ran some errands and then went to our favorite restaurant, Mariah's, for dinner What was nice about that was that it my sister-in-laws treat. What I like best about the place is the mural of the downtown area that's painted on the walls. It gives you the impression that you're looking down one of the streets on the town's square. There's a picture of it at the top of this post.
After dinner we did something not every couple does on their anniversary: we went to the grocery store. We bought about $150 worth of groceries but after using coupons and rebate checks we only paid about $110 for them.
After the groceries were away and the dogs were fed and put in their crates for the night my bride and I settled down in the living room with our special homemade dessert. We watched yet another movie on DVD before we called it a night.
Now some of you might think that this was a pretty dull anniversary for a couple who has only been married 6 years. But for us it was just getting to spend the day together that made all the difference.
