Lucky 13

Today is my 13th wedding anniversary! My how time flies! LOL! But yeah....it really does. Can't believe how far we've come. 13 years ago hubby was making far less money...I was working full time at my first career, making far less than him. We were almost ready to close on our first house.

Now hubby is making lots more, (me lots less, but I am in a different career, just starting out), we have two kids, a bigger house, more responsibilities.

We have a great life. We work hard to have what we have, and enjoy everything we do. We try to make the best of each day and just have fun.

Not much of a celebration this year. It's Monday, so we can't really go out or anything. We might go out to dinner and take the kids. We'll get them in bed and relax with some of our favorite shows that start brand new tonight (How I Met Your Mother!!) We don't have money to buy each other presents but we don't really care.

Lucky in Love!

Those in love really are the lucky ones, don't you think?? I know there are skeptics out there who doubt true love and soul mates, but until it happens to you, you just can't understand.The flutters and excitement, the gotta-be-together-every-minute phase. The moment you know it isn't just some fling.

I write mainly romantic fiction, but even when my plot doesn't revolve around a man and women's quest for love, the romance always seems to creep in. I just can't help it! I crave the happily ever after for everyone I meet, even if it's characters I made up!

My husband and I will celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary on September 19th and I have decided to honor it by hosting a Lucky in Love Blog Event!!!! 13 has historically been an unlucky number for most, but for us, it's been good! We started dating on a 13th, July 13th, 1995, to be exact ;)

So here are the details:

1: On September 19th, post an excerpt on your blog, sharing your own love story. If you are not currently in a fab relationship, share a past love or share a piece of romantic fiction or a love poem.

2: Post a wedding picture, or any picture you'd like. (I would love to see everyone's wedding photos though!! I heart weddings!!)

3: Post by 10 am EST on the 19th.

4: Giveaways are highly encouraged!! Please try and do some kind of prize. Something romantic would be great!! :) Doesn't have to be significant! (Make sure you state your shipping guidelines on your post...US, Canada, worldwide, etc...)

5: Tweet and Facebook the celebration all day on the 19th!

6: All participants will be entered into a drawing: prize TBA (but it will be awesome!!)

7: Hop around and visit all the other participants!!
