This morning, we sat in our bed and tickled our daughter's toes until she laughed.
One year ago today, we ate at Becco in New York City - the restaurant we fell in love with on our honeymoon when we walked in off the street and lucked into a table and fabulous pasta.
Two years ago today, we were at Blue Point, eating crab cakes until we thought we might pop.
Three years ago today, we were at, um, Nora's? Recently returned from France, so no October vacation that year.
Four years ago today, we were at Blue Point in Duck for our first exposure to their fantastic crab cakes.
Five years ago today, we were at Carolina Blue on our first trip to the Outer Banks.
Six years ago today, actually six years ago right this very minute, we were getting married.
Happy Anniversary, honey. Marrying you was the best decision I ever made.

Isn't it funny that almost every other year you were gone somewhere exciting for your anniversary, but this year you stayed home? Why go out when you already have all the excitment you need at home?! Have fun with that cutie, and Happy Anniversary!

Hi Beth,
Nice to meet you today at Sam's virtual shower.' Again, Happy Anniversary! It was awfully nice of you and Chris to 'attend' her shower on your special day.

Happy Anniversary!
And OMG - Becco's is the first restaurant I took my husband to on our first trip to NYC together umpteen years ago. Love love love that place. Thanks for the great memory reminder!

Congratulations on your anniversary. Some people say the first five years are the most difficult, so good job for getting past that milestone and best wishes for continued happiness (and great crab cakes!)

YAY, Happy Anniversary.
Being that it is me posting this, pretend that the annoying band on the flintstones is playing the happy anniversary song over and over just for you!

Happy Anniversary! Having been married before, and on my way to #2 I learned what makes a marriage work and what doesn't. I see a wonderful long, loving future--you two are blessed.

Congratulations and happy anniversary. Six years married to a "rock star" husband by hollywood terms is a lifetime. Hope the next six years brings you as much bliss as the last six.

Crabcakes from Blue Point.... we had them on our honeymoon, and then again this year for our anniversary. How can you not like the crab cakes from Blue Point in Duck?!? :) Great to find someone who appreciates our taste in food :) Happy Anniversary to both of you!
