`` Our anniversary is n't today. We had our wedding in June, remember?'' I smirked at her. *'' This time it was you who forgot when our anniversary was! Now I have an excuse for the next time I forget! `` * I thought. 
 
 `` No, I'm talking about our first meeting anniversary!'' I rolled my eyes. Our meeting anniversary? Did couples really celebrate things like that? 
 
 I grabbed my lovely but sometimes sappy wife's hand. `` Of course I did n't forgot! Follow me.'' I led her out to our backyard. 
 
 `` Where did I bury that thing?'' I wondered. 
 
 `` Why is my present underground?'' 
 
 I ignored her and retrieved a spade. I began digging, uprooting the flowers she had planted there. I knew she was n't going to be happy with me, but some sacrifices had to be made. I continued digging until I uncovered a shoe box. I opened it, and inside was a number of memorabilia from my youth, such as old toys and books. I decided to reminisce later, as I had an angry wife to deal with first. 
 
 `` This is a journal I kept in high school.'' I opened the journal and read her an entry. 
 
 `` A new girl came to our school today, and holy hell is she hot. She was wearing this...'' I skipped over that part. `` We talked a bit. Man, she's so smart and beautiful and amazing that I feel blessed she decided to talk to me.'' 
 
 I looked up and gave my wife a smile. 
 
 `` And I still do.''
