Martin and I blissfully celebrated our 7 year anniversary....10 days late. We both
completely and utterly forgot! Forgot like... not a clue, not on our radar screen... it might as well have been Christmas in June for us.
After a fun day hanging out at the zoo with my March Monkey moms one of them casually mentioned that their 6 year anniversary was coming up. I thought out loud ...how sweet,
Martin and I have been married six years too. No, wait, 7 years. Hmm, what's the date today? OH MY GOD WE MISSED OUR ANNIVERSARY. My friends just stared at me
dumbfounded. "You BOTH forgot your anniversary?" Yup, loser couple right here.
I rushed out to See's candy and got him an anniversary box of his favorite chocolates and then thought...he'll be so disappointed that he didn't get me a gift so I got myself a box of my favorite chocolates and had them gift wrapped. After the kids had gone to bed and we sat down to have a late dinner I handed him a card. As he read I wondered: Did Martin forget as wholly as I had? Had he remembered it was coming up and then just forgot on the actual day?
He had the sweetest smile on his face as he read the card. I could tell he thought I had just had a moment of sweetness and gave him a card just to say "I Love You" ... until he read "Happy Anniversary". I thought he was going to choke! The card fell to the floor and his hands went up to his head. His eyes bugged out of his head and his cute little mouth formed an O.
Ok, so he really had forgotten as completely as I had.
