To Brian, the love of my life. You make every day exciting. Thank you for six great years.

I have a husband, and I just happen to think that he's the greatest husband in the whole wide world. Yesterday was our anniversary, which means that we've been married for six whole years. Sometimes Brian pretends to be funny and tells people it's twelve or seventeen, but it really hasn't been that long.

Brian and I were married on February 16, 2001--just two days after Valentine's Day. Normally we don't make a big deal out of Valentine's Day, because our anniversary is just around the corner, but this year was different. Brian gave me roses, and I made prime rib for dinner. The next day, after putting the kids to bed, we set the roses on the floor, ate ice cream, and played games together. It was very romantic. All of this romance made us feel very in love, and set the mood for the best anniversary ever.

On our anniversary we kissed a lot, and hugged a lot, and laughed a lot. We said "Happy anniversary!" to each other all day long. We did a bunch of little things to make the day special, but we also did a couple of really big things, too.

We bought plane tickets to California. We're going to Disneyland! I've been wanting to go for so long, and Brian finally agreed that we could. We'll leave on April 30 and get back on May 4, and in between those dates we'll spend three glorious days in Disneyland.

We also went to a Valentine's dance called, "Taste of Europe." Along one wall they had three booths representing France, Germany, and Italy. They were decorated so well. There was a backdrop that looked like a German house and by Italy they even had a clothes line out, drying some one's laundry. Brian and I danced more than we ever have before.

We danced so hard, in fact, that we were so tired when we arrived home. We dragged our sore feet into the house and went to bed. We were so tired that we barely said anything before going to sleep, but I think that we both agree that yesterday was the best anniversary ever.
THE END
