I always follow the gift guide for anniversaries, cuz I like tradition. But, 12 yr is a little tricky for gifting to a man. Modern is pearls & Traditional is Silk/Linen.<br />Okay. I thought of something, as I just typed that! I did this once & it was fun. Bake in lingerie (silk ones) or you could wear a linen apron & be in your birthday suit underneath. How's that?! :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00616238682696645579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-36347946646680058622011-04-28T18:00:26.694-07:002011-04-28T18:00:26.694-07:00oh my gosh guys, I can't beleive I also forgot...oh my gosh guys, I can't beleive I also forgot to mention in the blog post that we had our rehearsal dinner at the OSF!

Have a wonderful dinner! ;-) <br /><br />I get the manager's special at The Old Spaghetti Factory ~ half mizithra and half meat sauce.

I always just go shopping with my husband and he picks something out himself. It's not a surprise, but it's always fun because we're normally constrained to our budgets, but on special occasions (like Mother's day! yay!) we get to pick something special out that we normally would be unable to buy due to the budget :)kimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648379057856404736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-52975904073634891322011-04-28T10:25:23.052-07:002011-04-28T10:25:23.052-07:00Well, I'm weird about dairy being mixed with s...Well, I'm weird about dairy being mixed with soda pop.

Needless to say we love that restaurant, and their Italian Sodas are delicious! As far as a gift goes, I have yet to celebrate even a 1 year. I have only been married 6 months, haha. But maybe reinacting the date, or getting Him somthing that He had when he was younger that he loved but doesn't have anymore that he would maybe enjoy having again? Ok, probably lame. I have no idea, I'm only pretending to help. Good luck?

The ones at The Old Spaghetti Factory definitely use some sort of cream and so I'm going to go ahead and still call this an Italian Soda, but I guess it's also a cream soda as Greta mentions up above. Either way, they're good people, no matter what they're called! :)Four Flightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10000752220758742399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1911776287527151601.post-4845461365740638882011-04-28T07:07:49.585-07:002011-04-28T07:07:49.585-07:00Send the kids to grandma's, make him one of hi...Send the kids to grandma's, make him one of his favorite meals at home, look out onto what will be your new fabulous pool, and reminisce about all of your wonderful years together and those to come. <br /><br />Colby and I go out on date nights but rarely stay in.
