We skipped gifts and went to cabo for our one yr!

We did paper gifts too. His made me bawl like a baby. He gave me a card that explained that the past year had been the best of his life, and for our first anniversary he wrote down in a letter everything he loved about us and everything he looked forward to in our lives together. The card explained the purpose of the letter (which he then handed to me). On the outside of the envelope he had written "To be opened on June 4, 2052." It will be our 50th anniversary and we will be 76.

I made him the tree...the text is a reiteration of our vows (the ideas, not word for word). I cut out all those damn leaves by hand. The painting was his gift to me based on a wedding picture. He's planning on doing some touch-ups, mostly to my forehead and neck, and one day will, I'm sure

@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Artie Lange. He's totally gross but pretty funny. Mike Epps is hysterical. Was that in NYC? I thought I saw him performing there when I was looking at Artie tickets. We'd LOOOOVE to see Louis CK but all of his shows either sold out or were $300 a pop on stub hub. DH would have killed me if I spent that much!

@pui: Are there any bands playing locally that he likes? I love gifting experiences instead of "stuff". We have enough "stuff".

We said we weren't you to do gifts but I made him a scrapbook of a reason why I loved him for every day for the year.

Our cake topped got ruined when we were out of town and our freezer died. DH contacted our baker and had her make another one. Drive the 4 hours, each way, to where we got married without me knowing to surprise me.

I got him a print of our wedding vows.

We didn't get eachother anything because our gift was supposed to be going to a nearby resort for a night. But then I sprained my ankle really bad AND got lice, so we had to cancel.

@pui: well, we had to cancel last minute, so it was after the 24 hr deadline or whatever, so we couldn't change it. But we did go to a different boutique hotel for our 2nd anniversary for a night. It had a bathtub for 2! Lol. So it kind of made up for our 1st year. I was still SUPER sad after we cancelled.

@pui: Yeah, something like that. I can't remember exactly but we must have lost our deposit and money was tight, so we couldn't go. Hopefully we got all the bad anniversaries out of the way with that one.

I was very, very bad and didnt get him anything. It was a really tight month financially, but I still should have made something. I still feel terrible about it.
