there was a little boy
and there was a little girl.
They met each other on May 8 1980, then on May 8 1982 the boy asked the girl to marry him and she said yes. The following year on 22 October 1983 - they got married in Christchurch, New Zealand.
and today Mike and I celebrate 27 years together!! WOW!!
Where did the years go??? I guess if we are being picky - officially it was yesterday as we were married in NZ! It has been 27 fun filled fantastic years. We have 2 incredible daughters. We have travelled far and wide - lived in 4 cities and 2 countries. This weekend we are running away from home - away from the kids, the cats, work and responsibilities. Just a weekend for us - so don't be surprised when I don't answer emails or the phone ;-)
In the meantime though I promised another giveaway - and here I am to deliver. This will also be drawn on Sunday night when I get back.
This line should really be called Circa 27 or Circa 1980 ... just for us of course *LOL* The winner of this giveaway will pretty much be the first to get their hands on the adorable new papers from Cosmo Cricket's Circa 1934 line.
I thought it was a pretty apt giveaway as the names of the papers are all about romance and partnerships and we have both!
so what are you waiting for - you have nearly 3 whole days to comment on this one... and don't forget to comment on Wednesday's post as well for a chance to win that prize too!
Have a great weekend everyone - I know I am going to - and no I am NOT telling you where we are going.
In case you are wondering what you get someone as a pressie after 27years - well an hour on the Pilates torture rack of course
which is what I gave Mike - he got an hour of Pilates Reformer Instruction which he did last night
Aww...Happy Anniversary you two!! Have a great time on your getaway!
