On Anniversaries and things.

Today the Coach and I celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary.

And by celebrate, I mean there is a heart penciled on the wall calendar. 

Did I tell you we had a very small budget for our wedding? 
He couldn't afford a shirt and I had to waitress the entire reception. 

 Heck yeah, I made great tips, look at those gams!

When you know someone for 27 years, you experience a lot of stuff together. Such as your mullet phase, your perm phase, your bright blue eyeshadow phase, your mom jeans phase.
And that was just HIM.
Oh, lets not forget our  'redneck phase' {Coach/Suz and Big Blue. 1992}

We drove that truck {pulling my Saturn} from South Florida all the way to Dallas, TX. With two medicated cats with us. I'm still coughing up fur balls.

He still misses that truck. We had to sell it to buy a {gag} mini-van. 

Oh, it looks like we've come full circle? {Coach/Suz 2012}

We've had many many good times. Luckily, the bad times have been few and far in between. Actually, I think that the bad times seemed NOT so bad...because the Coach is a rock. Cool. Calm. Collected. And usually very reasonable.
He makes life easier for me. Always. 

I still have that dress. Not sure why...but it fits around my left ankle beautifully. 

My step sister's 1st wedding. I actually picked out that dress. And his pants. The 90's were not pretty. 

We don't usually do big stuff on our anniversary.
 Last year we went crazy, had dinner and saw The Hangover 2.

Thank the Lord they have not come out with Hangover 3. I don't think I could take another one.

The 20th 'traditional'  anniversary gift is China. I'm kinda glad the Coach didn't know that. What would I do with an ENTIRE COUNTRY? 

The modern day gift is Brass and Nickel. That pretty much sums up what I find in the dryer everyday. 

We don't usually go all out on the gifts. Well, what the heck can I buy him? 

His two favorite things are beef jerky and one other thing that I won't blog about. 

Our good friends are coming over for the weekend with their sweeter than heck 2 year old.
WE will have more fun than a monkey full of barrels.

The Coach used to fish. For girls. 

The secret to a happy marriage?

Compromise.

Marry someone who doesn't mind compromise.

HA.

I bet you thought we both did that.

And? Marry someone who never whines, complains or b*tiches about anything.

Too bad the Coach didn't follow that rule.

I just made myself laugh. Again.

Happy 21 baby!!!!

So, enough about us.
If you are a praying person, a karma person, a mojo person or a good vibrations person, could you muster up the energy to send a bit of *whatever* to my Mom?
On Wednesday, she fell at work and broke her humerus bone. Nothin' funny about that.


I hate that we live so far apart...at times like this I feel helpless! But, my Aunt and Uncle are there, taking good care of her. She will be fine, but it looks like surgery will be in her future. 

Now, I am off to take some extra calcium.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy anniversary to Karen and Gregg too!
