On this day 12 years ago at 11:00 the wife and I stood before a minister and exchanged our vows before our family and friends. While the ceremony was smaller due to the events of 9/11 we still had a great time with those who made it. Twelve years later I still see the Best Man as we work together and see most of the Groomsman on a regular basis. One even went on to become the Mayor of Oldsmar recently.

Today we are celebrating 12 years as husband and wife. Thru good times and bad we’ve been there to support each other and continue to do so. So how do we plan on spending our anniversary you may ask? Well that’s where it gets a bit odd as we chose to start off our anniversary with an 8 mile run (The wife ran and I rode my bike), but still we did it together.

After a long morning of exercising while most others are still sleeping we decided to splurge and stop at Dunkin Donuts for some Pumpkin munchkins (evil, addicting and awesome all at the same time). We next came home and got the boys for our traditional Starbucks run where got our usual drinks. As far as what the rest of the days holds who knows. I’m hoping for a nice lazy day with a good nap and maybe a bit of TV.

Later this evening it’ll be Kobe’s Japanese Steakhouse for our traditional dinner with a bit of yummy yummy sauce and some silly paper hats. I know some people may say it’s silly but we love that place so we go on special occasions. I know she’ll be reading this so Happy 12^th Anniversary…. I love you so much and look forward to many more years.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done for an anniversary? What would be the perfect way to spend your anniversary?
