You know it's love when

You know it's love when your anniversary is pending, but between the two of you, you can't remember how many years it's been (19 - we did finally figure it out)

You know it's love when you seriously contemplate waking your husband up at 12:30am because you realize it's your anniversary and you forgot to prepare properly, but because you're still awake and he's already asleep, you know you will be the first one to say it if you wake him up, but then you opt to let him sleep instead because he never falls asleep first and he's exhausted.

You know it's love when you hit the ground running in the morning, scooping up kids in various stages of consciousness and shooing them to get through just one more morning until summer break - you pass by your husband several times in the process, but only when he brings you a plate of Eggs Benedict with fresh orange juice, flowers and a card do you realize you forgot it was your anniversary and HE remembered and he said it first.

You know it’s love when you knew each other as teenagers, have watched each other become full grown adults and can still say you made a good choice.

You know it’s love when you have six kids (2 of them teenagers) and can still say you made a good choice.

You know it's love when you spend your anniversary at your sons preschool graduation and consider it a good date.
