A Half-Aversary

Hi all,
We had a very exciting day yesterday in our household-- it was our 'half-aversary' as my husband so dubbed it!  It was 6 months ago yesterday that we got married!  I can't believe how quickly time has flown by.  I know that it might seen ridiculous to celebrate such a small half-aversary but my husband just loves celebrating any kind of commemorative event.  I get reminded almost every month of the first day we met, when we started dating, got married, etc.  And it's amazing because we met 3 years ago.  I have a horrible memory and so I can barely remember that sort of stuff and am grateful that he has such a wonderful memory.  I always tell him that he will have to remind me of things when we are older, even if his memory goes first!  Since we are both students, I figured I should try to show him that I love him pretty cheaply and decided to make some cupcakes.  The best way to show someone you love them, for me anyway, is to spend time thinking of them and doing things for them.  I spent three hours tweezering sprinkles onto the cupcakes so they spelt 'Happy 6 Months'.  Why tweezers?  Little sprinkles are so tough to pick up but looked to great on the cupcakes.  My husband, of course, showed me up and brought home the same flowers that we had on our wedding.  He took some time out from a project he has been working on to get them and come home early.  I was still in my skirt from work and wanted to go change.  After a few kisses, I went to the bedroom to change.  He came in and asked it I was actually happy with the flowers (which I was) and he said that if I hadn't been, that he had a back-up present.  I absolutely cannot stand surprises (someday I'll tell you about the day he proposed) and asked him if would tell me what the backup present was.  He passed me this little gold box with a necklace in it with a pearl on it (like from our wedding as well)!  Seriously, could this man be any more amazing!  Sometimes I can be so frustrated with him, but it's moments like these that make it all better!  I can't believe some days that I get to hold him tight and be with him!!!  It's so nice that he remembers these little 'half-aversaries' and I can't wait until the next one!
