You may read the title of this post and think I’m going to discuss the Fifth Amendment.  Or, perhaps, a fifth of scotch whiskey.  No, that is not the subject of today’s post.  The subject is the Fifth Anniversary!  That’s right. Ya’ll probably think I’ve been with Mr. T for years and years….ah that it were so!  When it comes to anniversaries my husband is a traditionalist.  He carefully surfs the internet to find out just what the gift for each year should be.

The first year was a journal and a book of poetry, for paper.

The second year was a piece of cotton clothing….the list also says a beach vacation, but we basically live on the beach.  Isn’t this pillow a cute idea?

 

I believe the third year was something leather, oops…I can’t remember exactly.

And the fourth flowers.  He always chooses the most romantic cards and writes “Your Loving Husband” before signing his name…so sweet.

Our fifth anniversary is this coming Friday, the 23rd.  I just went on-line to see what the recommended gift is for the fifth year.  WOOD????  Really???  I am not even going to venture to guess what he may decide upon for a gift!

Here are a few ideas….of what I would not want!

I am not a person who gravitates toward cute little wooden plaques like this…sweet, but not me.

And this wooden ring…pretty, but not me.

Perhaps this?  Noooooooo….

I will be happy with flowers….or maybe some interesting wooden napkin rings…a walk on Driftwood Beach?  I’m liking this driftwood heart as well!  Whatever he decides I will cherish it just as I do him!  Five years of marriage and our sixth year together.  The other night he made the comment that we’re in this for the long haul.  Yesiree!  This is IT for me.

   Happy Anniversary to two special people! Can’t believe 5 years! I agree with Marisa; When it’s the right “one” every year gets better. Celebrate all you have accomplished the last 5 years and always remember why you fell in love! Love you both! Chris
