I saw a Facebook post today of all days that urged folks to make realistic anniversary and wedding announcements rather than the mushy, gushy, sappy ones Hallmark sells. Their example:
Ha! Well, thankfully, we're not in debt, so a few realistic words from my heart to his, on this, our 16th year as husband and wife.
You're the one I want grilling my steaks on Saturday nights.
You're the one I want at the finish line of all my races.
You're the one I want to tell each kid, "go ask your Dad."
You're the one I want changing the oil in my van.
You're the one I peel potatoes for, even though Ore-Ida has already done it for us in the frozen food section.
You're the one I want coaching my kids, whether it's on the sidelines or at third base.
You're the one I want to share my bank accounts with.
You're the one I want to share my passwords with. Two brains are better than one when it comes to I-tunes, Suntrust, etc.
You're the one I want to play, er lose, tennis with on lazy Sundays when you'd rather be watching golf.
You're the one I want to laugh with, because you still know what makes me chuckle.
You're the one I want to steal a quick dinner with now that we have a pretty reliable babysitter in the house.
You're my date to Home Depot, my secret- holder, my frustration release, my pinterest guinea pig.
You are my husband and my best friend and the world's greatest dad and the hardest working man I know.
You're the one I call mine, yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever.
And I love you, Coach Kirk!Short shorts and all!
