OVER SIX YEARS AGO.<\/p>\n<p>Dang, I was so much skinnier then.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, it was a lovely day. A family from church took Evelyn for a two lovely hours so Jared and I could have grown up time at a restaurant sans a baby. I forgot how easy life was to sit in a restaurant with just me to worry about. Amazing.<\/p>\n<p>So, awhile back, I pinned <a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/200550989628709903\/\">this about traditional\/modern gifts for each anniversary<\/a>. (Yes, Pinterest again. HOW DID IDEAS EVER GET SHARED BEFORE THIS WEBSITE?!) And apparently, Year Six is the &#8220;Candy&#8221; anniversary. And you can supplement with iron and calla lily gifts. And I know I just started several sentences with a conjunction. And I don&#8217;t care.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, moving on to the gifts. Jared and I were meant to be together, and this anniversary proved it.<\/p>\n<p>First, Jared got a little potted calla lily plant with 6 lovely purple flowers on it. This man does his research on anniversaries.<\/p>\n<p>Then I gave him one of his gifts.
