I spent time finding the perfect card but seriously couldn't come up with a great gift idea. I've spent 2 years living with this man and don't know what he wants for our anniversary?!?! I even called my sister asking her for advice and ideas. She suggested maybe tools or a back massager, but Jeremy has tools and he's not too much of a fixer guy unless he is in the mood - and the back massager I know would spend most of its time in his hands because he's just generous that way. But my sis did give me a great idea for how to know what to buy him for future reference. She advised that we sit down and make a list of gifts that we personally would enjoy that covers different price ranges just to allow for different options. Then swap that list so there won't be any questions as to what to get. So - the day of our anniversary I came home from work a little down because I just had a card to give him. He noticed that I wasn't too thrilled and we sat down and talked and I explained that I didn't have a gift for him, and suggested that we make lists for each other for the next occasion.
Anyway, so of course he was generous and could care less because he was so excited to give me my gift because he knew it was exactly what I had been wanting for some time now. And here they are - two white rocking chairs for our porch!! We use them pretty much everyday now - well when we are home. I'm so thankful for them - way to go Jeremy! So that's the story. Hopefully for his Birthday I'll be able to get him that "perfect" gift. I have some time to plan as it is not until December.

So cute, I love it!!
Boys are so hard to buy for!!!
Hey I totally know how you feel! We kinda got stuck this year as well on the anniversary gift ideas, but ended up getting each other something small that each of us wanted. (Although it involved HEAVY Hinting from each of us!) :-) In years past, we've used the "Traditional & Modern Anniversary Gift Table" (http://www.findgift.com/Anniversary-Table/) as a guide to get something together for BOTH of us... although our interpretation is a little goofy. The first year's Modern Gift is "Clocks"... so Robert decided a new TV set (much needed) would have a clock inside of it and tell us the time. :-) The second year is Cotton & China... which are both White... and really we didn't need any more of either... so we bought a WHITE freezer for the garage. :-) LOL... told ya we're goofy with our interpretations! Anyway, hope that provides some fun ideas!
awww. i absolutely adore you two.
You are seriously the most fantastical people ever.
