R and R
R&R
railroad crossing
rest and relaxation
No ~ I coined it as Rob and Roda ~ R&R. (my brother and sister-in-law) Isn’t that cute? Greg said, “We need something like that for us.” Hehe.
Well, R&R have their first anniversary plans already in motion. Rob surprised Roda with a gift. The First Year anniversary is symbolized by a gift made out of paper. Their wedding anniversary is in September, so it was given early, but with good reason.
The paper Rob gave to Roda was a ticket! A flight to the Philippines on their anniversary for a week. I thought that was such an incredibly sweet and thoughtful gift. I’m happy for them!
This way, Rob will have the opportunity to meet Roda’s mom and her two brothers and get to know the place where Roda was raised. It’s so romantic! Kudos to you, Rob.
I asked Greg, “What do you think we can do for our wedding anniversary?”
Greg responded, “Fix the AC and heater unit in the attic!”
I laughed, because, truth be told, I was thinking the same thing. It might not be romantic and going away somewhere, but it’s certainly a priority and need. Once we get that monster project finished, we’ll both breath a sight of relief (just to save for the expense of the fix, it will take until January!). Thankfully, my parents enjoy "family vacations" and we have some opportunities coming up to go to some lovely places.

In the meantime, I’m looking forward to R&R coming back with some beautiful pictures and wonderful memories to share.

1st Ann. gift. Keeping your cool in a marriage is the most important thing don'tcha think? LOL
Someday....sigh...we'll do something fantastic.
Somehow seems appropriate to the scheme of things here !
And ah..priorities. Priorities ! How they come in. And have a blast on the 1st anniversary !
:)

Great gift as well - he did do well! As for you & Greg's anniversary plans - you guys have already had some sweet romantic trips, and sometimes the 'non-special' date ones are better - no pressure for it to be 'perfect' because it's this anniversary or that anniversary. I think you guys have fun together no matter what you are doing!
Sometimes you just have to go with the practical - like my mailbox which was a birthday gift - after the neighbor across the street ran the old one over for the third time in a week, totally destroying it.
meanwhile, i could use a little r&r too. :)
(Award for you over on my blog, Aleta.)
I've been married nearly 16 years and we're past "gifts" (although I would LOVE air conditioning :-) but always make a point of finding special cards and having a quiet dinner together. It doesn't sound exciting but it is very romantic.
Thanks for sharing Aleta!
