Okay....So tomorrow is our 5 year wedding anniversary....and I forgot! **

My husband reminded me and kinda gave me crap over it! 

We don't exchange gifts...mainly because we are minimalist and we would rather spend our money on other things....

Anyway I was just wondering if I am the only female on the planet that forgets this stuff?

I thought I would throw Birthdays in there too, thus increasing my chances that I'm not alone! I'm pretty good with Birthdays....But I forget about that darn wedding anniversary every year!

Sassy, don't feel bad.  You have a lot on your plate right now with the big bathroom remodel.  Besides you probably didn't really forget.  We women multitask and think of our to do list early and then get bogged down with everything else.  My DH and I just celebrated 28 years.  We don't do gifts anymore, just try to get a really nice card and do a special dinner.  We did go to Hawaii for our 25th Anniversary and DH planned the entire trip himself...which is usually my job.  that was a real treat.

It's the everyday special moments, that quick kiss, hug, hand squeeze and those conversations in bed before you fall asleep that keep the love lights burning!  I am sure when DH thinks about everything going on, he'll be forgiving!

Hey you're still there right!!!  Now go buy his birthday card tomorrow and stash it away so you won't forget!

*I* haven't forgotten

BUT

My husband forgot my birthday the second year we were married.  We were at a conference in Phoenix--the whole reason I WENT with him was so that we'd be together for my birthday.  He was driving me to Arizona Mills so I could do some shopping with my birthday money around noon on my birthday when I asked him if he had forgotten something that day.

"Uh... noo, oh."



That was eight years ago--and he still claims that he hadn't forgotten...  If so, why did I need to remind him?   

We flew home to Utah that night and I didn't speak to him the entire flight home (an hour) as well as the 90 minute drive from the airport in Salt Lake to our home in Cache Valley...

Didn't help that there was a birthday present in the mail from an old boyfriend when we got home!!!   

He hasn't forgotten anything since then--I think...

Sassy, you didn't "really" forget--tomorrow isn't here yet! 

Man you guys are terrible.  Just kidding    It's been hard to forget our anniversary in past years b/c that's when the military always moved us!  We spent 5 wedding anniversaries in a row doing detailed cleaning to clear military housing inspections.  The 1 that was local, my mom brought us cards and a cake.  We were like "oh ya, that.", lol.  On our 7th we spent the weekend in a little cottage B&B w/ wine & jacuzzi tub - it was almost weird to not be packing or cleaning!  Last year we just went to a nice restaurant and drank tons of merlot and laughed alot.  I agree, it is the little things inbetween and not just the one day that needs to be special.  Hey! Tell him at least your helping w/ the house construction projects!  I know women who would sit flat on their  and let the guy do all the manual labor.  And you're a caring wife and mother and a nurse too!  No wonder you forgot, for a short while anyhow!  Shane get off her case!!  There, hope that helps   

  Happy Anniversary Sassy!  

I don't count that I "forgot" unless the date has passed!  And, yes, I have forgotten both!  I think I suffer from C.R.A.F.T. at least 90% of the time -- (Cant Remember A F* Thing!) or like my computer tells me, "not enough memory!) 

Hope you both enjoyed the day! 

Give karma to hubby!
