He Remembers!

I was out at lunch with Hiker today and I was going to bring up this event that one of the local art galleries have each month, called Third Thursdays where they have a Starbucks coffee tasting (with yummy treats), some special exhibit, art-craft project for some hands-on fun, live music, etc... it's something we don't attend EVERY time, but we've attended several and always have a good time. So anyway, this coming Thursday is Third Thursday time again, and so I asked Hiker during lunch, "do you know what Thursday is??"
His response was: "It's our third anniversary!"
Oh wow... he remembered!!! I knew it was our anniversary too- but that wasn't what I expected him to say! How sweet... :-D
I don't even care if he does anything for The Day- but he said we should do something this weekend to celebrate (so I'm okay with that, for sure). But for him to just remember that day... that is gift enough for me. :-) (perma-grin!)
We'll probably do the Third Thursday thing this week, too- but won't make it our celebration night. I'll probably take my kids with me (they enjoy the hands-on art project part), and make the weekend date our official date for just the 2 of us then. :-)
Three years since our very first date. Wow, time flies.... :-)

Just a day at a time, a date at a time... and look where we are already. :-) I just love sharing so many aspects of life with him!

Thanks, Liz! It really surprised me! And he'd answered without any hesitation, too! It was like he was expecting me to bring it up (as an anniversary thing) and wasn't expecting or realizing that it was Third Thursday. So he definitely scored a zillion points today. :-)

Thanks Cutefont and City!
I think that is what makes it such a big thing- because I haven't even dropped a single hint but he still remembered! Had he not mentioned it himself though- after we'd talked about the Third Thursday event, I probably would've mentioned the anniversary anyway. So it wasn't like I was going to test him to see if he would remember- and then grumble at the end of the week if he didn't. I would've just mentioned it so we could plan something special if he wanted to.
It's just neat and warms my heart that he DID remember! :-)
