CELEBRATING a fairy tale................ they really do exist....
Sean and I celebrated our 11th year of marriage yesterday. Sean giggled and said, "I have thought it was our 11th year for the past 3 anniversaries." Some may be cynical and say, "I've said that before" but fortunately I feel blessed to know that Sean and I have something wonderful! Sean and I love flying pigs because we both thought marriage for us was when "pigs fly". Here's to the blind date that started it all!
The style of this pig is of a street craft in Africa made by Beadworx. It is beyond adorable and I wanted to share with you all. It was meant for a Christmas present from my brother in law but how fun that it arrived on our anniversary.
The sweet card is from our near-8 year old, Noah. A style of art that I have not seen him do before.
If you celebrated an 11 year anniversary this past month, December 2009 or know of a couple that has, please let me know and they win a prize.....Just can't resist celebrating with someone else!!!!!!!!!!!!
And... if you met your special person on a blind date and are the first to respond, ah, you win too!!! Email me the story so I can have my own "chick flick" via cyberspace.

Congratulations and many happy returns of the day to you two!
I had a couple of "match-making" friends and aunts who did their best (or worst, depending on your viewpoint) to fix me up (I was not broken but they tried nonetheless ;-) ). I made a couple of good friends this way though, so I think it is always interesting to turn up. Sorry, it does not enter the categoty you asked for ...
Congratulations and God bless you both!!
Love is something very special!
We're already married for 31 years, so I don't fit your categorie......
Love and greetings!
Oy! My husband and I started as a blind date also...a friend from his church is best of friends with my older sister...and intended Kent to go on a date with my sister BUT, my sister had just met someone...so I was the default blind date. (does it get any worse than that!!)...So I was to meet Kent at a volleyball game his church had an outing at...but, we accidentally met at the gym 2 days before!! He had a picture of me and knew what I looked like...even thought the picture was from (a different) sisters wedding and at the gym I was sweaty and nothing like the picture at all! We dated 3 years before marrying...and it will be 7 years on March!
Congratualtions to you!
Congrats in your 11th anniversary, I don't know any couple who had 11 years of marriage, one of the couples who come to my mind are my aunt and uncle, they were married on december 24th, they were poor when they got married, they have more than 50 years together, just a different story!
How cool! I'm glad to see it got there safely, and on a rather nifty day given that it was late.
Had I known about this blog, I would have started following you ages ago! Glad you started following mine. :-)
