13 years of bossiness, 13 years of snoring, 13 years of nose blowing, 13 years of back seat driving, 13 years of mistakes, 13 years of sarcasm, 13 years of sports, 13 years of shopping, 13 years of cleaning up, 13 years of budgeting, 13 years of serving, 13 years of anger management, 13 years of honey-do lists, 13 years of remote control arguments,13 years of hard times.....13 years of bliss. Happy Anniversary, babe. This year I had no idea what to get Jason. So, I thought to go for the cheesy sentimental. I thought of 13 great memories, put symbolics of them in a bag, and had him guess. How wonderful it was to reminince. We've been conditioned to running through this marriage, not many easy strolls. It's challenging, tiring at times, yet, the joy from it is worth the race.
1. KIT KAT...When I was pregnant with Brynna, we lived in a condo next to a gas station. He had to jump the wall almost every night and buy me a Kit Kat that I was craving.2. GASTON...This has to be the most favorite impression my husband does. He does it perfectly. I think why I like it so much is because it is such an alter-ego thing for him. He can always make me smile talking like Gaston.
3. OLIVE OIL...For the endless blessings he has given his family and all that he will continue to do to bless us.
4. LOOFA...One time, Jason was in the shower and lost his footing...I've never seen anyone wipe out so hard. Fell out of the shower, taking the curtain and everything down with him. An image that is imbedded.
5. KNIFE...I am a huge clutz, but Jason is worse. He is continually hurting himself...stabbed himself with a knife while making breakfast, has fallen many times down the stairs, charred himself and lost hair over the BBQ, the list goes on and on...
6. YEAST PILLS...While on an airplane with a bunch of Mardi Gras attendees, Jason was watching a movie with the headphones on. Out of nowhere, at top volume (because of the headphones) asks me 'How's your yeast infection?' I was humiliated. While exiting the plane I actually had someone tell me..'good luck with that'...and they were like 6 rows ahead of us. I could have killed him!
7. GHOST...We had the best time staying in the haunted hotel. He has been willing to give in to things that interest me.
8. FLAG...He is the peacemaker of our home and has captured my heart.
9. TOILET PAPER..He has been enlisted many times to participate in my pranks upon others. He's not always happy about it, but he's the best accomplice EVER.
10. APPLE....He has been my greatest teacher and I'm so proud of him for continuing his education.
11. CANDLE...So, I almost burnt a house down once. And by that I mean, furniture, carpet, and other things went up in flames. I panicked and started using anything to put it out...even my bare hands. When he came home from work, I was shaken up and told him everything. His response...'Can you believe I had to stand on the bus the whole ride home?' Idiot.
12. ALARM CLOCK..We had a huge blow up over time once. Or should we say, I did. I was a little out of control. Not one of my finer moments. He has taught me to learn to admit to my mistakes.
13. DYSART SHIRT....Jason was my biggest cheerleader while running for school board, and anything I've done. He has taught me I am capable of anything.
AND FOR ME....Jason didn't go for the cheesy sentimental. He went for the shallow, materialistic...and I LOVED it!

You two are such a cute couple. I still remember Jason bringing you home to RH from Nebraska and then soon getting married. I can't believe it's been 13 years!
That was a really cute cheesy sentimental gift you gave him! Great Idea! Happy Anniversary!
WHat a cute idea!! I may steal it for our 10 year anniversary this year. The airplane story is so funny!! Happy Anniversary!! You guys have such a wonderful family.
I'm just glad you finally updated your sidebar. You guys had been married for 11 years, like...forever. Happy Anniversary!!
I love the idea Jen! I may also have to steal it for next year. What a neat couple you guys are...and a great example! Happy 13th!!
So cute!!! Our anniversary is coming up and we usually don't get each other anything (little or no $$), maybe this year I will have to try something like this. Of course my husband isn't very sentimental so he probably wouldn't appreciate it. You are so creative, we need to be better friends so some of this can rub off on me!!!
Happy Anniversary to a fabulous couple! I hope you have many, many more. May be you can save one of your special stones for next year's memories. I'm sure Jason will appreciate it.
That's hilarious about the airplane story. You should get him back someday and loudly ask him about his hemorrhoids in an elevator or something.
I'm dying about the yeast infection! Classic! I hope it was near the end of the plane ride so people had less time to think about it and stare at you. Too funny!
