If you can settle the children with someone else overnight, have a celebration at home, alone, Tina. Scott and I got married, went away for one night and came home to three kids! LOL!!! We're still waiting on an official honeymoon, 1 1/2 years later!!

If the kids are going to be with you, do what one of my friends did for her anniversary this past weekend. Put the kids to bed and have a late night dinner, together, minus the children. Grill a steak, light candles, drink wine or tea, whatever works for you. Just catch up a bit, together.

My husband spoiled me with a terrific surprise on our first anniversary, but it was very expensive. We went to the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC and stayed at the Inn, there. It was very special, especially because my first trip to the Biltmore House was with him. I didn't want to leave. I remember calling our Pet Talk friend, Pam. from the road on my cell phone, not knowing where we were headed. I was so excited, and it was a marvelous, romantic surprise, but I would have been content to be right here at home with the dogs and Scott. Something tells me that our second won't be so grand, but I'm sure we'll still do something special, even if we're right here.

Happy Anniversary a little early.
