Our Anniversary, December 7

Our Anniversary was one of the most uver-coolio special days of our relationship. It was even more coolio to know that I was the one who had it all planned, so if you want to talk about coolioness, this was the day!
After my birthday, which is when I thought this out, I was still very excited and still had that festive spirit. And besides, I knew I was going to celebrate the day in which Steven came into my life, so I had to make it special.
I was thinking about maybe, making him a special dinner, or breakfast in bed, etc, but I didn't know what to make for the dinner and breakfast in bed sounded pretty boring.
I decided it had to be something more.
After I came home for my birthday, mom gave me some peruvian candy, so I thought he might like it, I just had to get a giftbag to put it in. Ah, but then I went to the L Y C page and looked at those beautiful anniversary cards, and I thought, "I have to get him a card like that, or I won't forgive myself", so I asked my mobility teacher to take me to Wallgreens on Friday to buy that card, and to see what else I could find.
So there I was, except that I again forgot the stupid debit card, just like I did when I went to the bus station.
I told the guy that was helping me at Wallgreens that I was going to buy the card and then an anniversary gift for my boyfriend.
Well, he read me the cards and helpedme pick one up, and I chose one that said: "Happy You and Me day", and that has a beautiful love poem that I don't really remember but it was very sweet. The card also looked very nice, and with it, came a little envelopefor me to put a note inside and I thought: "coolio, I could write him an anniversary note". Then we went to look for a gift, I had nothing in mind so I just said I wanted to give him something nice. We looked, looked and looked, and then we found a nice massage pillow, and I thought: "He's really lazy so he might like that", so I went to check it out, and it was then when I realized that I forgot the stupid card.
Luckily, I had a $20 bill in my pocket, so I thought, "Candy, he likes candy", and went to the candy section. I knew they had chocolate, all the stores have chocolate around, and then I remember how he was talking about peanut butter the other day, and I thought, "Peanut butter cups", so I bought him 2 of them, get it? two for two?
Anyway, when I was pretty sure he was going to like the gift, I bought a giftbag to put them in, then I checked it all out andcame back home.
I hid the gift beside my computer and waited for him to go smoke, and then I ran to the room and got the peruvian candy and a peace of paper in which to write my note. I finally got one from my calendar, it had holes punched at the top but I cut them off when I finished the note. I wrote:
"My life was always sad and blue,
until the day I met you". At the bottom I drew 7 hearts, and wrote: "Happy Anniversary my love"."
I arranged the gift, the peruvian candy on one side of the bag, the card and not in the other, the peanut butter cups at the bottom, then I stuffed it all in the shopping bag and put it in the fridge, in the bottom drawer.
The next morning I talked to Cokie and she suggested that I take him out to dinner at the Catfish Parlor.
I had already set up a ride and everything, but they gave me a cab baucher so we had to take a cab.
I was excited and looking foreward to celebrating our day.
I stayed up with Cokie until a little after midnight, then reluctantly went to sleep.
The next morning, when he kissed me and told me: "Happy Anniversary baby," and I told him "Happy Anniversary to you too my love", Iwas so, but so excited it seemed like I have been waiting for this day forever instead of just a year.
I got up, went to the computer, and waited just for the right time to procede with the next step of the plan.
While he was out smoking with Luis and Cokie was in her room listening to her book, I closed Cokie's door, got the gift out of the fridge and out of the shopping bag. Then I got the card out of the bag and decided to give it to him separately, (no point on giving it to him along with the gift if he couldn't read it), instead, I put it on the table and sang "forever and for always" while I waited for him ro come in.
After a couple more minutes, he did, and I turned the music down, stood in front of him, got the gift, and gave it to him saying "1, 2, 3, happy anniversary".
He said he loved it!
Then he called me into the room to help him with the card, and he loved the Peruvian candy.
I was so happy I started to write an anniversary poem, "I remember".
Then I told him we were going to the catfish parlor in the evening, and even though he was sick, he decided to go with me, so we went. He even told me I could dress up for the occasion, so I did. I was wearing a very dressy sparkly dressing shirt top that was really coolio, my pretty pants that he likes, my shoes with sparkly little beeds at the top, my favorite bracelet, my 3 star bracelet, my new necklace and earrings. I felt pretty and wanted to dance really bad.
So we went, Except for it wasn't the catfish parlor, but the applebees.
I called us a cab and we got a very cool driver who took us all around the block to find that stupid restaurant, but when Steven called them we got the surprise that it was the corporate office. We went to another catfish parlor close by, but they said it was closed, "Major crap", I thought when he said, "OK, then take us bach home". "It's all over, we're going home, we're going back to bed, what an anniversary!".
Then suddenly he said, "do you know if there's an applebees or a venigans around here?", it was just the right question at the right time at the right place, and she took us to the applebees that was cloce by.
We got off and got there, he got us a booth for both of us, and then he had a very ffat cheesy burger with chees-stick, his favorite, and I got me a very extra special asian salad with almonds that I found on the menu. As soon as I read it, I thought "Almonds", and ordered it immediately.
We ate our special dinner joyfully, as if we were already happily ever after, and then we just stayed there talking for a few more minuts and enjoying the night while we waited for the check.
Then I paid for our meals (he always does), and then we came back home.
I told him how bad I needed to dance, and he said I could stay up till 2:00 even if I woke Luis up, and I loved it, though I wish I would've done more dancing.
Cokie came home late, but when she did, she looked at me and thought I looked beautiful. I had to agree with her, I not only looked beautiful; I felt beautiful.
After 2, I played our anniversary song "Breakfast to Tiffany's", and went to bed, and woke up at 11:30 the next day.
It was such an extraordinary night, and I have a feeling that our love will last forever.
Laters:
Claudia, more and more in love!
