Anniversary ideas

Our 3rd anniversary is coming up, and we're basically in a spending freeze around here since we're trying to throw extra $$ at getting my student loan paid off (our only debt--yay!).  I want to get DH something he'll enjoy without really spending much of anything.  I can't really make anything because he works from home and he's always here when I am here, and my schedule means going to bed before he does on most nights, so there's no real way to be secretly crafty.  He's a music and arts lover, a Methodist pastor, cat lover, doesn't care for sports or gadgets.  Uh...I guess that's it.  Any ideas??

Re: Anniversary ideas

  • Since summer is almost here, are there any weekly free outdoor concerts in your area? Make a picnic and go enjoy it together.

    Love this idea. 

    That would be awesome, but we live in extreme BFE right now.  Man, I miss the city!

  • I'm of the opinion that the boy should make anniversary plans for the lady. That being said - DH and I do exchange gifts.

    I've made him a scrapbook-like thing full of reasons I love him. I've made him his favorite cookies. I know both are hard because of working situation, but can you do any of this from work, or at a friend's? Maybe play nooky hooky one day, plan a picnic and spend the day together doing nothing? 

    Are there museums near you (even hokey ones?)? We went to the museum of surgical science once and loved it. It was so fascinating.

    I could do something from work, possibly.  Can't take the actual day off because I haven't got any PTO at my job yet and I'm already committed to taking a field trip that day, anyhow.  Trying to drag him away from work is difficult, but I might be able to swing a museum trip or something...we do have a hokey one here that we've not really been to yet.  Hmm.  Definite food for thought

  • We just had our first anniversary tonight :) Hubby bought me some flowers for the beds, and I made a fabulous dinner:  roasted garlic chicken, spinach salad with roasted red peppers and pancetta, and rice, followed by bananas foster and ice cream!   It was so nice and simple.  Took about 30 minutes for the whole meal!
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • bananas foster sounds so yummy.  if your recipe is easy, would you mind sharing?  thanks!
