My husband and I had been quite busy lately--he at the store, me with work, housework, and the baby.
Yesterday, I managed to get out of the house because my parents were here to take care of the baby. I attended a brief meeting with a client and then went to the store to pick up something for my husband. Unfortunately, of all the days to forget it, I forgot to bring my wallet, so I was not able to buy him anything.
So I went on to do my second gift, as I intended to prepare this all along--a digital card, which I personally made. I e-mailed the card to my husband last night so that it will be the first thing he will see when he opens his mail.
This morning, very early, before the baby woke up, I invited my husband to pray. So we prayed together for our marriage, family, ministry, etc. I told him to open his mail and then I went back to bed.
When I woke up again, my husband was busy going back and forth. He prepared breakfast for me! Or well, at least he brought our breakfast inside the room where we partook of it in a rather hushed manner or else the baby might wake up.
After breakfast, he handed me our digital camera and let me view a video. To my surprise, he actually went to our rooftop took a video of the sunrise, sang a couple of lines, and then went on to tell me his anniversary message...sigh...how romantic! Did I cry? Of course, I did!I am just so happy that despite our lack of budget, we still managed to make this day special. Well, in everything anyway, we can still find creative ways to celebrate the happy memories in our lives, as long as we deliberately do it.
Happy Anniversary, Babe!

Hello spoiled311,
Happy 2nd anniversary! It's just so sweet. How I hope my husband will do something romantic like this. Ah, he is not that type and I have to accept the fact. No matter what, I know he is the best man for me and always love him, no matter what. I hope both of you will have a prosperous and happy life ahead with your little one.

Happy Anniversary. How romantic your marriage is ! I wish my husband can be as romantic as your husband. You know, we have just celebrated our first anniversary. We just found a good restaurant to have a big dinner and then went to a quiet place to relax ourselves and chatted about our first time hand in hand, first kiss... many firsts in our love. I was content with this first anniversary. But both of us forgot to make gifts for each other. You have give me a good tip. Yes, next year, I will try to make some special gifts for my husband. But my husband didn't remember this day untill I reminded him, which made me a little upset. I hope that next year, he can remember this important day and give me a surpise. :D
Good day.

First of all, congratulations and may you both share many more years of happiness. Secondly, I am so happy to see there are people around who, inspite of lack of money, know the true meaning of happiness and togetherness. I am so sick and tired of people always complaining about lack of money and how that affects the family bonding...and how people end up with 'your things/my things'...you both have reinforced my belief that money is not the destination of happiness, it just might be a minor way to it but that's all...the moments we spend with our loved ones are more precious than anything money can buy.
