2nd Anniversary

So yeah it's technically not to the 16th however we decided to celebrate on the weekend because we are so busy during the week. We really wanted to keep it low key and inexpensive. Sandro ordered a cake from Texas Star Bakery in the flavor of our wedding cake and it was amazing. He had told me that it was $90 dollars when he ordered it several weeks ago. At first I was like no freaking way can a cake cost $90 dollars but we budgeted anyways because I really wanted some cake. Well turns out that the lady actually said it was $19 dollars. ( big difference) I think it's time I got Sandro a hearing aid. Since the money was already budgeted Sandro took me to lunch at Cheesecake Factory. It was nice to have a day out. Thought was raining a lot because of Hurricane Ike.

Sandro already gave me the sweetest card. It literally brought tears to my eyes because that is exactly what I wanted. Sometimes Sandro is known to go overboard and spend to much money. This year just a simple beautiful card with a long hand written note about how much he loves me in his life and he wouldn't change anything. It really touched me because he really wrote such wonderful things. He conveniently put in a little gift card for Starbucks..since he knows this is my favorite treat on the weekends. What's bad is that I haven't even got him a card yet. I feel like that bad wife at the moment. But I will get him something small this weekend. He is such an amazing patient man that I am so happy to be married to. I am so thankful that I found that person I really connect with on so many levels. He wrote in the card I hope we have 100 more years together. As if we could live forever right. Gosh...I am so thankful and blessed to have him in my life.

The best part of this weekend I have to say was spending time with Beth. She came over to have some cake and to just chat it up. It has been so long since I had seen her but it was so fun talking and enjoying cake together. She is such a good friend and the strongest person I know. She really is part of my family. I am so amazed with her ability to be so positive and strong going through all this craziness. The last time I had saw her she was going in for her first chemo with a small nagging cough. Now the cough is finally gone and she seems so alive and happy. Probably from no longer being a IBM employee (that death trap) but still I so am so happy I got to see her. Zdenko of course had to get his picture with her. He loves his Beth.
