anniversary

Well, I'm a bit behind in posting about this, but Dave and I just celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary on June 5th. WOW - 10 years. I'm sure I'll really be saying that in 10 more!

We sent the girls off to Dave's parents for the night and headed down to Troy to stay at the Embassy Suites. Love that place - 3 drinks in the evening and then a really nice breakfast the next morning. We checked in and went to the Melting Pot for dinner - love that place! We had the Snickers chocolate fondue - amazing!!

The last 10 years have really flown. We met in August of 1995, so this August we'll have known each other (and basically began dating) for 14 years. Seriously, I feel old, yet, I don't. I will be 31 in August, and we have 3 little girls, so really for my age, that's pretty good.

When I met Dave I knew almost right away that he was the man I would marry. Weird how you just get that feeling. I love him even more now that I did then. And our love then is different than our love for each other is now. It's stronger and secure. I love that I still get butterflies once in awhile just holding his hand to looking into his eyes. (love the color too!). Ok, probably getting too mushy for everyone - sorry! lol But, I really do feel so lucky and blessed that we have such an amazing relationship. It's not perfect and we've had our rough days (and months, and years) but we're stronger because of it. I'm sure it helps that neither of us are very confrontational people, but we talk and are honest with each other. I don't feel that he takes me for granted and I don't beleive he feels that I take him for granted either. I know I will never fully understand what it's like to be the main bread-winner, to be the man of the house. But I don't always think he understands everything that I do either. And that's ok. We're made to be different.

When I got home in the afternoon on our anniversary Dave had 2 dozen red roses in a vase on the table, and coasters that spelled out "love". 2 chapange fluets were there too - for our Dom Perion toast later. Beautiful!

I look forward to the rest of our lives together and hope we have many, many more. Love you Dave!!
