Our Anniversary Is On – When Exactly?

Do you guys ever argue about when your exact anniversary is? I mean sure – if you get married you’ve got a “date”. But what about if you met each other through the internet. And then in real life.
And things kind of expanded faster in some ways than others? I am a saver – so I know to the date when we first spoke on the internet. But according to a certain someone – that doesn’t count. So then I count our first “date” – although she was here a full day before that. And according to her – that’s the date. Uh oh. I can see this causing trouble down the line. “No dear, our anniversary is tomorrow.” “No, it was yesterday and YOU forgot!” Also – I admit I’m crappy with dates. Totally. ADHD. Which leaves it up to the OCD one to use the wrong date. Um right date. Sorry dear.

And dates aside have you all noticed that it HAS been a year almost?? Which leads to my quandry – what to get as a gift for someone who has made such a huge difference in my life in a little over a year (since I’m counting to the day we first started speaking and you missed our anniversary dear). Also I can hear her now, “You said you were trying to save money. That means not spending money on an anniversary gift.” “Yes dear. Now shush and let me figure out what to get you!” So I did what I’m good at and hit the internet. Some of the great ideas – recreate the first “date”. Make a collage of your first year together. Great ideas – except we don’t get to see each other on a frequent basis. And I keep forgetting to take pictures of us when we do! And since we just had a visit, that nixes doing anything ON the anniversary.

So – I’m putting it out there. I want something that says just how much she means to me – that she can enjoy there while I am here. Help me come up with a really great anniversary present! Or I will be forced to sing her a song and record it for her. Trust me, that will make it the last anniversary present I have to give her! And I don’t want that!

Love you babe. Whatever the date!
