Happy 5th Anniversary, "Hicks" :)

I posted this last week, just thinking about my husband and our upcoming anniversary, but said I'd schedule it to post it again on our actual anniversary, since we'd be away :)

Happy Anniversary, Hicks, 

You are the smartest, bravest, most bad-ass, most loving and supportive man I have ever known - words cannot express how much I love you, more and more each day, or how grateful I am, both to you, and for you, in my life - I love you :)

Love, 

Ripley  

And just for a laugh, after all that sentimental, mushy stuff, here's a pic from our recent vacay in June, which I've entitled "Hicks and Ripley Finally Take a Vacation" lol 

LOL

I think we make a great team :)

Plus, I just think you look good, in this picture!

 (Me, not so much, makeup-less)

And lastly, of course, our song - featuring the Detroit Red Wings, of course, at their final game at Joe Lewis Arena in Detroit :)

Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere

Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

A singer in a smokey room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on, and on, and on

Strangers, waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows
Searchin' in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night

Workin' hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win
Some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues

Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on, and on, and on ...

Strangers waitin'
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows
Searchin' in the night
Streetlights, people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people

Don't stop, believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, people
Don't stop believin'
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
