The First Day of Our Fourth Year

So today was our third anniversary! Joshua is off working hard and enjoying the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. In his place, he sent his mom with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a love letter to my classroom. She came in and asked the kids to help her sing "Happy Anniversary" to Mrs. Hardwick. They sang away and when she left, one little girl asked me "Who was that?" At the same time a little boy asked,"What's Anniversary?" How sweet are they? One of the other boys explained that an anniversary was like a birthday for your wedding. A fine explanation I think! :) I ended my day with a strange (sans my husband), but nonetheless wonderful, anniversary dinner with the Hardwicks and the Graffes. Even better, now I have leftovers for tomorrow's dinner! As lovely as my day was, I am hoping that next year Joshua will be with me so we can celebrate together.
