I don't really want to be too anti-climactic, but we are celebrating our 6th month anniversary today and we didn't do much. My poor hubby is really stuffed up, sore throat, the whole Sha-bang. I did make a delicious dinner for our anniversary though: potatoes au gratin with roasted asparagus and mushrooms and a berry crumble for dessert with fresh vanilla whipped cream. Mmmmm. I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow too! Double mmmm.
Other than that though, Hubby's not up to much and is just hanging loose. He thought he might be up for a hot bath (perhaps with or without me, that's not for you to tell), but I'm not sure if he'll (maybe we'll) get around to it.
I figured that I'd at least find a good married life survey though to give you all an update. After all, who doesn't like to know the details of other people's marriages now and then and their philosophies about how it all works? :P
