This is the first time we've had this double celebration. The first time it would've happened had been a leap year.
I thought I'd do something special for Josh since it's our Dozen Anniversary. He and Matt were gone Friday night at the father/son campout so the girls and I set up an elaborate activity for him to come home to.
I borrowed my brother-in-law's gps for geocaching and located six of the geocaches in our neighborhood. We then left a note in each cache for Josh to find.
The notes contained dates that I consider "perfect" days in my life. Dates like: December 19, 1998, the day we met; February 14, 1999, our first date; etc. Each note also had the coordinates for the next cache site.
In the end, Josh was led back home where he found his new grill (one side with propane, the other for charcoal) and the final note with pictures of our children saying I look forward to an eternity of perfect days with him. I think I was allowed to be cheesy at the end since I was such a genius for the rest of it.
It really was fun to do and plan.
And because Josh got such an incredible grill for our anniversary, I got a wonderful gourmet dinner tonight for Mothers Day.

That's right. I went through all those hours of planning, strategies, and searching for tiny pill bottles hidden in the rockscape of our neighborhood so I could get a nice bbq chicken tonight.

Happy anniversary to my best friend. And Happy Mothers Day to all of the moms I know and love.
