It's been wonderful to have family in town to visit, but it's so nice to have the house to ourselves again! Kind of like the Awana calendar - I love it when the Awana year starts afresh, and I sure do love it when it ends! We had a fabulous visit with Michael's mom and sister, and they think Jane is just the cat's pyjamas, of course. (I may be paraphrasing for them a bit, but that was the gist of it.)
The first week of the performance was spectacular. I was able to attend the Saturday matinee, and while I expected a good show and intended to be impressed by virtue of my husband having a starring role in the wedding scene, I was far and away captivated by the splendidness of the show. It was SO well done! Seldom have I been so entertained and impressed by a play (although, of course, I haven't been to enough live plays in my life). Between performances we dashed out for a quick visit upon which I will elaborate in a future post when I have pictures to accompany. Then Michael's mom and sister brought Jane down, where we traded off and they stayed for the evening performance. A grand time was had by all.
Tuesday was our second wedding anniversary. Amazing to think that it's been two years already! Michael's mom watched Jane for us again while we went out for dinner, drove around in search of chocolates and cotton robes (under the traditional system, the 2nd anniversary is cotton; under modern, it's china; but best to play it safe and fall back on the Focht Anniversary List of chocolate. Works every time, and that way we won't have to keep on keeping track of years), stopped by the library, and took a walk in the balmy air. It was a perfect evening and a fine conclusion to two superb years of marriage. And they say it just gets better and better? Bring it on!

Happy anniversary! I plum forgot to wish you well when we spoke the other day on the phone. My apologies! Sounds like it was a fun one. I think it's great that you two did the "traditional" anniversary gift. :) Because the traditional seems easier or should I say cheaper to get that's what I've gone with each year. Year 3 is fun... leather -- we got leather chairs for our living room, which we really wanted. Hurrah! Congrats to you both! May you have many more happy years together.
Happy Anniversary, Rose! =D
Congratulations! It's very gratifying that once you fell in love, you did such a complete job of it.
I don't think we've ever kept the traditional anniversaries. We reminisce about ours by remembering what was scheduled at the time that we had to work around. Or how old Addie was, always an easy indicator. :)

Happy Anniversary! We should definitely go for the cotton over china, as I have far more china than I can fit in my cupboard.
