Luck would have it that it was also the day that all of my new students arrived, so we got to spend a whoppin' two hours together yesterday. But before I left for work, there was a beautiful bouquet of roses on the table along with a lovely silver necklace for our "silver" anniversary.
We exchanged cards this morning and agreed that we would celebrate in a few months when we can afford a couple of nights away at a B&B somewhere fun.
Update: Graham said he saw on the Web that since the traditional gift for the 5th is wood, a modern practice has been to give silver.

Aww, Graham is so sweet! I wanted to call you this weekend and wish you a happy anniversary, but I knew you would be busy, so just know you were thought about!
Sure wish we could have been with you to celebrate this milestone! We offer our congratulations and prayers for at least 100 more! Hey, how did the fifth get to be silver? Last I knew the 25th was silver. Must be inflation.
Dad,
Graham found out on the Web that while the traditional 5th is wood, the modern equivalent is silver. So he says he actually bought a silver-coated wooden necklace.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
:)
as well from all international students of Fresno Pacific University!
We miss you!
I love the blog, and the pics are an awesome addition. Kinda forgot your anniversary, sorry, but a belated congrats. Sounds like all is going well, and you are making new friends easily. Nothing like school and church to find like souls.
I'm off to NY next week to see Evelyn.
Love, Cynthia
With all the two of you have done and accomplished, it seems as if you should have been more than 5 years. Congratulations! Isn't it exciting to think of what the next 5 years will bring? Diana
Happy Anniversary! We admire your marriage & family.
Many blessings on your new adventures,
The Gilmores
