13th Wedding Anniversary

We celebrated a our 13th wedding anniversary on July 7th. It was a low key affair as usual .  CB prepares the tea and toast for me everyday and keeps it in our office room before leaving for office. On our anniversary I  got a  surprise card and a gift voucher along with breakfast.

Anniversary Card :

Our Love has been a Journey

I couldn't have known when we first met that everything in my life before then

had been leading me to you

But looking back I realize that every decision led me to just the right turn

and that every road taken or not

brought me one step closer to you and the love we share

Today, I know for sure that when our paths came together

and we found one another, it was really only the beginning

of  the most beautiful journey of all

the journey of two hearts that beats as one

Happy Anniversary with all my Love

- Hubby

I made a simple meal Fried rice, vegetable korma, Methu vadai (urad dal vada) and delicious pal paysam.

These days, I prefer gift vouchers than a gift . I can use it anywhere at anytime no pressures. I have started giving visa gift card to everybody . I always like giving personalized gift but realised the usefulness of gift cards when I had NR. We received gift vouchers  from friends and colleagues and I used it throughout the year to get all necessary stuff for NR.  I have always seen new parents receiving insane amount of dresses, toys and others stuff which can be used only for first three months. As new mother though I purchased tonnes of dress for NR, I never used all the dresses. I dressed  him in cute night gowns which made diaper changing a breeze specially in the first two months.

Though spending time outside the house is a premium for me thesedays, I want friends to use the gift cards to buy stuff otherwise they don't  buy for themselves  : ).If you a friend you know the reason for receiving gift cards this year  as opposed to carefully selected /hand picked gifts : ).
