Wow it's hard to believe that Michael and I have been married for 20 years. When I look back over the years I know I received flowers and candy and nice bath salts, but what I remember is the special times and the goofy things Michael has done to express his love.
Years ago when we were first dating, he played the trumpet to me over the telephone to express his love. Lucky for him, he didn't scare me away! LOL!

April 9th 2009 - Our 20th Anniversary
I woke up this morning to a beautiful plaque with a poem written for me by my wonderful hubby. Isn't this just so sweet?!!
My Little Wendala
We traveled quite a journey more than twenty years have past,
They were full of Joy and happiness....who said it wouldn't last?
I couldn't think of someone who I'd rather share my life,
Than you my little Wendala, thank God you are my wife.
We really hit the jackpot how lucky can we be,
We have the greatest kids alive Josh, Jaimie and Jessie!
So remember, no one marriage is perfect that's not reality,
What makes ours so special is were also friends and that's the key.
So congratulations Wendy twenty years of wedding bliss,
Here's to twenty more, much love and I seal this with a kiss.
Love, Mike

Romantic Gifts on a budget!
You don't need to spend a lot of money on the perfect gift. Just be sure that it is something from your heart and he or she will just love it. Here are a few of my favorites.
Do you have a favorite? Please add it to the list.
Love
Love is any of a number of emotions related to a sense of strong affectionOxford Illustrated American Dictionary (1998) + Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary (2000) and attachment. The word Category: wikt:en - :love|love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my husband"). This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.
As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and platonic love to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love. (J. MascarĂ³, translator) Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.
Want to give your love a dozen roses?

Did you know you can save money if you order ahead of time? It's true, place your order now and you will save!
or how about this alternative...
A single rose with a box of chocolates. I personally would rather have the chocolates, but that is just me.
