When our 3rd anniversary was around a week away, I asked my husband if we were going to be doing anything special. I suggested that he could ask his coworkers for things to do near us, and I would ask my friends for suggestions.

A couple nights later, my husband came home and suggested that we go to Panama City, FL, the next weekend. I was beyond thrilled. Tennessee had been really cold, and I was excited for warmer and sunnier weather.

Our actual anniversary is on January 9, and this year, it fell on a Tuesday. My husband came home from work that evening with flowers, a sweet letter, and a gift card to my FAVORITE coffee shop. We went out to dinner at a really good Mexican restaurant in town.

It was only the beginning of our celebration!

It was a rainy drive.

We left on the 12th (Friday). We drove through pouring rain to get to Florida. It wasn’t quite the start to our sunny getaway that we were going for.
