Oh wait, it was our anniversary wasn't it?

So about 3 days after Ben and I's 9th anniversary I called Ben up at work and this is the conversation we had.  Me: "It was our anniversary on Wedsnesday."  Ben: "Yeah it was."  Me: " I forgot."  Ben: " I didn't."  Me: " Why didn't you say anything?"  Ben: " I don't know."  Me : " Huh, well happy 9th anniversary. I love you."  Ben: " I love you too. Bye." 

In the whole scheme of things, nine years really isn't that long. But as this scene unfolded I realized, I have lived with him so long I have a hard time remembering a time he wasn't there. So lest you think I take my husband for granted, I just wanted everyone to know what a wonderful man I am married too. Happy late anniversary honey, even if I forget dates, I still can't wait for you to come home every night!
