Dressember Day 12: Anniversary

10th anniversary outfitsFirst of all,I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who left comments on my last couple of posts: the internet connection here isn’t letting me do much more than hop on every now and then to upload these Dressember photos, so I haven’t been able to reply to them all, but I am reading every single one of them, and, as always, your comments make my day, so thank you.

We don’t normally exchange gifts on this anniversary, but Terry surprised me (and totally put me to shame, I might add) with this necklace: he’d remembered me talking earlier this year about how I’d always wanted a Carrie Bradshaw-style name necklace, so he gets plenty of husband points for tracking one down for me.

This also solved the mystery that those of you who follow me on Twitter may remember from a few weeks ago, when Terry measured mine and the dog’s neck. Sorry, though, Rubin, if you’re reading this: no necklace for you, you just got your neck measured just to throw me off the scent…

Suffice to say, it was a happy anniversary…

    Congratulations to you both on your anniversary. I have just read your last post at the same time as this one and even though I know how it was gonna end (Terry spends every weekend with my hubby) I was still welling up at it. I can only imagine how it must have felt to actually be there at the time. Much love to you both x

    Love the necklace, and such a lovely, romantic thing to do!

    The dress and pumps are lovely, and thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us, you’re such an empathic writer.

    You do now have me scared you’ll disappear and the only thing we see of you are the pre-written posts, posting ever so often.. *shudder*
