Day 41-Eight Year Anniversary (A Series of Unfortunate Events)

Last night started really good. Bryan's Mom offered to keep Tate overnight and for our Anniversary day so that we could have some time together! Bryan took Tate over there and got him situated and came back home for our DATE, that's when everything went WRONG!!! First off, my computer got a virus! I was so completely bummed about it... I went to go lay down and try not to think about it, but soon realized that our bed had gotten rained on and was soaking wet. I decided to do the next most relaxing thing which is to take a bath. But, something was wrong with our water heater because I could only get about 2 inches of warm water. I was totally frustrated when we ended up having to sleep in SEPARATE beds. I was pretty upset to say the least. Then this morning I woke up and was doing a load of laundry when I realized that there was a pen in the dryer and the majority of Tate's clothes+2 of Bryan's jeans+2 of my Pajama Bottoms had ink splotches all over them. At this point I just sat on the couch BAWLING and feeling sorry for myself. Bryan on the other hand found the entire situation humor full and was sitting on the couch LAUGHING about it.
Then, it occurred to me... I HAD THE CHOICE TO HAVE A GOOD DAY OR A BAD DAY! Yes, lots of bad things were happening to me, but it was what I made of it that was the important thing. So, I changed my attitude and decided that I wanted to have a GOOD DAY, after all Bryan had taken the whole day off and we were going to spend it together. I figured it wouldn't be much fun if I was sulking the whole time or worrying about everything that needed to be fixed. So, I decided to PUT IT OFF TILL TOMORROW! I mean really, why not party on our anniversary? We ended up going to the Temple to do Sealings. Let me tell you, it is an amazing thing to do Sealings on your Anniversary-I LOVED IT! Then, we went out to Lunch at Serrano's and went to see a movie. It was a fun filled day! We had a great time together and I'm so glad that I chose to make it fun! BTW, since it's our anniversary I just wanted to take this opportunity to say that I'm so grateful to be married to Bryan. He's the best man ever-SERIOUSLY! I love him so much!!!
