Hey guys,

It is hard to believe that 9 years ago today, Pat and I said I do.

I wrote this little poem for Pat for our Anniversary last year.  Since I know I am not capable to creating such a great literary masterpiece more than once, I will just share it again this year. 🙂

**HAPPY 9 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO US**

On this day, we said “I Do”

9 years later, you still tell me that girls aren’t supposed to poo.

 

You asked me to marry you on a rainy day in December.

To this day, it is one I will always remember.

 

When it comes to breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you know to not expect too much from me

You dusting, vacuuming, or cleaning … all things my eyes have yet to see.

 

You like going to the beach and spending hours in the sun

I find getting my nails done to be fun.

 

Several years ago, my car was hit by a deer

You once paid me $5 just to drink a beer.

 

I often ask you to rub my feet

You get mad when I play songs on repeat.

 

We like going on vacation, to the movies, and to a concert or two

We’ve seen Van Halen, Motley Crue, Billy Joel, and Kenny Chesney, just to name a few.

 

We both think Bosco is the cutest thing we have ever seen

You’ll be sure to sound the alarm if your food is touched by a bean.

 

Baseball, Miller Lite, and Skiing .. these are some of your favorite things

You tell me I have too much jewelry and won’t buy me any more rings.

 

When Doritos are near, you like to stuff your face

I can eat Orange Tic-Tacs by the case.

 

You’re smart, sexy, and more recently, a very good runner.

One thing you are not though hunny, is Mr. Fix-it or a plumber.

 

When we get back from a bike ride, we know there will be a race to the house

I once called you screaming when I was in the basement and saw a mouse.

 

When you wear your glasses, you look just like your brother

You often tell me quotes once said by your mother.

 

I like to make fun of you for being 10 years older

In the summer, you get mad when I turn the thermostat much colder.

 

You have always treated my family like they were your own

We both have 10000 pictures of Bosco on our phone.

 

When I ask you to take me on a long ride, I don’t give you much of a choice

When your singing annoys me, I threaten to post a video of your Bon Jovi voice.

 

Since we’ve been together, I’ve had many shades of hair

Inside a house in your hometown, there once lived a bear.

 

We both recently developed a love of country music and even bought our own cowboy hat

Bosco was very upset when he learned you once owned a cat.

 

Eleven years worth of memories – from Bahamas, Key West, Aruba, and of course the NJ shore

Cubby, Jake, & our man Bosco…can’t wait to make so many more!

 

I love you, Sexy Husband (of 9 years) Boy.

 

Here is a video that I also made last year for our Anniversary.

 

Happy Anniversary, Pat!!!  XOXO
