I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend, we sure did. Last week we celebrated our 20th anniversary so my husband and I took off Friday to have a bit more time together to celebrate. It’s still so surreal to me that what began as a friendship via letters turned into a long distance dating relationship and eventually turned into marriage! If it wasn’t for the pandemic we probably would have enjoyed a big trip this year (a new country to discover) but well, what can we do.
So instead our celebration was to do some of the things we enjoy. We went to the bookstore, got some yummy drinks and then we also stopped by World Market to get some German chocolates. We talked about our dreams for the future which course included a lot of travel plans.
I did make one bookish purchase this weekend and that was the latest Bella Grace – The Cozy Issue. I am all about creating a cozy environment. It is so needed after a stressful day at work to be able to wind down with books, journals and things that make you happy. Even if it’s just for a few minutes a day. It’s part of my meditation.
On the reading front I have started books for all of the November reading events and I’ll tell you more about those in my next post. How about you, did you have a good weekend? Did you buy any new books?
Congratulations!
I hope that you celebrate 20 more🥰
Isabel – Thank you so much! ‘m so happy you were there with us for our wedding. My mom still remembers how much you helped with one of my little cousins.
What a beautiful photo of the two of you! And how cool is it that your marriage began with a letter-writing friendship. Happy anniversary!

Happy, happy anniversary! Twenty years is quite a milestone. Love the photo!
Happy Anniversary! That’s a beautiful picture of you and your husband! Hope both of you have a great week and that you enjoy your book. 🙂

Joann @ Gulfside Musing – I wish we could have been able to have a big get together but maybe for our 30th. haha.. Thank you!

Susan – Thank you so much. Yes, we can’t believe it! I’m like slow down the clocks we need more time for all the things we want to do!
Congratulations! I’m glad you got to do things you both enjoy, and I hope a grand trip is in the near future for you!
I love the story of how you met! Pen pals then a long-distance relationship? Marvelous! You could write a novel based on your lives. 🙂 Happy Anniversary! Here’s to many, many more! We celebrated our 33rd on Saturday and went out to dinner, which was noisier than we like, but it was still fun. I hope you get to start traveling again sometime soon!
