13 years ago, we met at a McDonalds.
He gave me a single rose.
And, he told me he loved me.
Every year since, we’ve remembered the day. We don’t celebrate it like our wedding anniversary. But, we remember it. And, every year, part of remembering it has meant a trip to McDonalds.
Funny how we made the most unromantic spot in the world one of the most romantic places in our history.
Last night was just a little different. We went out to dinner to a local pub. I couldn’t bear the thought of dinner at McDonalds (much to our 4 children’s chagrin).
But, there’s no way we would break this tradition. So, we went to McDonalds for dessert. Even though we have 10 lbs. of candy at home, we let the kids get ice cream. And, we sat and smiled as we remembered.
But, now, we’ve got 4 kids with us too (note our little Lydia as Ashlyn took our picture). So, we also spent some time talking about silly stuff and giving belly blasters.
I am so thankful that he loved me then and has loved me everyday since.
Awww….. you guys are so romantic. Not kidding here. That is really, really, sweet!
Really sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!
so so so sweet that you remember this day and celebrate it each year! I love it!
Kelly, That is so sweet! What a great way to remember where it all started and where God has brought you!
Blessings!

I love those remembrance days in our romances with our hubbies! :) Mark and I, after our wedding, had not had any supper. So, by the time we got to the hotel, we were famished. So, we ordered room service and shared a hamburger. We’ve never forgotten that almost 28 years later and every anniversary (though we will try and celebrate with a nice dinner when possible), we often will get a hamburger late at night and split it! :) Those silly, fun sharings that continue to bring you close!
So he told you he loved you the fist time you met? Or you were on a date at McDonalds the first time he told you he loved you?!?! I’m gonna need some more deets on this one ;)
I jumped over here from the Blog Hop and you have such a beautiful family!!! We have seven children (four adopted blessings) and love seeing other families that God formed in such a glorious way!
