Living apart for a year can really test a marriage. Her work was very accomodating and allowed her a week a month to work from home in CT so that helped a lot but the leaving to go back to Virginia made it even more difficult for a while because we never had a time frame for when the house would sell.
Anyways, we aren't really celebrating today although I did give her my gift. We capped our limits since we just bought the place in Virginia and are limited with funds. The 5 year anniversary is the Wood Anniversary! AND BOY DID I GIVE HER WOOD!!
No really, I did. She always takes her rings off when she gets ready in the morning for work or when she sleeps or when she does the dishs so I bought a hand carved wooden hand so she can put her rings and such on the fingers when she does that stuff so she doesn't lose them. I found it on a site called uncommon goods which specializes in gifts that are different.Anyways, the real fun is on Saturday. I booked a zip lining tour through Shanadoah Valley which lasts about 2 hours. We did that on our honeymoon and I thought it would be fun to do again. After that we will sample some wines and then have a nice dinner. Should be a good day and fun celebration.
