It’s our anniversary today, and Patrick had these flowers delivered to me. How sweet is that? Four years. I got him nothing but my gratitude. It’s not that I didn’t think about a gift, but getting him gifts is SO HARD. He doesn’t think so, but he has specific tastes. I can’t get him just any old thing, so I ended up with nothing. I’m terrible.

Since we are trying to be careful now before my surgery next week, we celebrated by having dinner outside at a favorite restaurant. At the end of our meal, our waitress surprised us with a dessert. It was delicious!

I’m thankful for our years together, and I’m thankful for a lovely evening in perfect weather.
