Dear Shane,

I put the toilet paper roll on "wrong".

I can be extremely moody. (ok, ok! I am extremely moody.)

I commandeer the remote control and flip through the channels, even when I know you are watching something on TV.

I sometimes squeeze the toothpaste tube in the middle.

I am indecisive.

I am stubborn and always want to be right (even when I am clearly wrong).



Eleven years ago, you stood with me in a little church, in front of our family and friends and vowed to love me always. And in spite of all my faults, you're still here.

Thank you for loving me. Probably more importantly, thank you for not making a run for it.






You see everything, you see every part
You see all my light and you love my dark
You dig everything of which I'm ashamed
There's not anything to which you can't relate
And you're still here

11th Wedding Anniversary
Steel may seem like a difficult thing to work into an anniversary gift, but there are actually so many neat possibilities that can be either romantic or practical.

For men, the 11th anniversary can be a very easy shopping year with ideas like tools for the shed, sports gear, a watch, or memorabilia from his favorite sports team. If he is a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, then the eleventh anniversary is a no-brainer when shopping for your man!

Wow Happy Anniversary to you two!
Its fun having someone to nudge on the cold days- honey you are closer- you go do it....and then the food tester to see if its good- by taste and by date! Only joking on the date testing for food- but he does get first taste usually so if he makes it the rest of us can eat!
