30 MARCH - IT WAS MY 16th ANNIVERSARY

Yesterday, 30 March was my Anniversary.

I baked this Chewy-Goewy-Chocolaty Brownies for our special day.

Well, Alhamdulillah.. 

I have reached my 16th  Anniversary.. That means we've been married for over one and a half decade. Believe it or not, we have 6 growing children.. My eldest girl is 15 years old now.. Evidently this is an amazing accomplishment in my life..Married to this particular man, I called husband, is the single best decision I ever made.

Here is why this decision was the best one.. I should say that there are few obvious reasons…

He is my best friend..

We share interests..

He is gorgeous..

He’s the father of my children..

We actually like hanging around together..

The most important – and far less romantic – reason is that.. our marriage has been my salvation during the bad times and good times..

 Some people might ask, is a gift necessary..??

So, you would think either me or him deserves a gift...

No, we do not.

Being honest.. To me.. Gifts are there to thank people.

My husband and I have never exchanged gifts on our anniversary from the start. He is my best friend and my soulmate. We have never needed a special date to buy gifts for each other. We both feel that it means more to buy a gift just because we wanted to rather than because society tells us we should.  We tell each other that we love each other every day (and we mean it) and we always make time for cuddles.

BUT.. 

We do celebrate our anniversary together. I will bake a cake, just to remind both of us & not to forget d kids, on this special date 30 March. So, yesterday, he took half day leave and we went out for a late  lunch @ SERAI..

So, exactly who am I thanking for my marriage? 

We are equal partners in this relationship. We survived our wedding together – no small feat. We endured the pleasures and pains of life together. That is what marriage is all about. 

The gift is the marriage itself. 

I should thank ALLAH for all..Alhamdulillah..

Semoga cinta & kasih sayang kami akan sentiasa semanis dan semeriah kek coklat ini.. Kemanisan yang akan selalu didambakan di dalam setiap rumahtangga.. 

InshaAllah... AMIN..

Happy 16th Anniversary ogyep..
