The best anniversary gift

In my previous post I mentioned that John likes it that I am not high maintenance.  I agree.  I'm not. 

The kids bugged us to go out to dinner for our anniversary, but with it being a school night, Jenna working - we need to pick her up - and Family Home Evening FHE (John has to keep the tradition up with going to the discount rack with the kids for FHE treats), we decided to stay home and enjoy dinner with the family.  We'll do a date night another night.

SO the best part of our anniversary ...

John sent me the following text (at about the time we were married ... how did he remember?):  

Of all the years in my life, the last 21 have been my favorite! Happy Anniversary Sweet Heart!


Love, John
 
I replied and told him I wrote something on our blog regarding our anniversary.
