10 years later and it just keeps getting better.....

10 years ago this past Friday, September 26th, Steve and I were married. Our wedding turned out beautifully, as did the weather outside that day, even though it had been a stressful several days before the wedding where we were being predicted to get hit by a hurricane the day of our wedding. I remember an Uncle and Aunt heading down to Florida and saying it felt strange to be about the only people on the road heading south as most people were heading north out of the path of Hurricane George. We just kept on planning and praying and it all worked out.


Friday afternoon I was doing transcription at home and the door opened and Steve waltzed in (literally) carrying these beautiful roses and singing "I can't get enough of your love baby". (He would kill me if he knew I just posted that:) He then said that when we went out that night for dinner to celebrate he could envision me wearing a cute black skirt and a nice pair of black shoes which he started describing. I looked at him puzzled because I couldn't think of a pair of shoes that sounded like that in my closet. He then pulled out a box and a bag with the skirt and shoes in them. They both were very cute and fit me great and he did a great job of picking them out.


That night, after leaving Connor with a babysitter and Bryce at the Huff's, Steve and I headed out to our favorite restaurant we go to for celebratory events, the River House, and had a very nice dinner. Afterwards, we went and spent the night at the same hotel we spent our first night as husband and wife 10 years ago to the day.

When we were checking in, the guy behind the desk asked if we were their for business or pleasure. When I related to him the reason for our stay, his mouth dropped open in shock. About 20 minutes later Steve and I were relaxing in our suite and there was a knock at the door. There stood the man from behind the desk with one of those photo bags (see below) filled with all kinds of snacks, bottles of water, cans of soda, etc and a note he had written on a card giving his congratulations and thanking us for coming back 10 years later to celebrate at the same hotel. It was pretty cool.

The next morning we had breakfast in the beautiful atrium of the lobby. There is a bunch of nice foliage, a little "river" with a bridge, a waterfall and two gorgeous white swans swimming around.
We had a picture taken before we left. It was really nice to go back to the same place 10 years later.
I recently added these words above our wedding portrait that hangs in our bedroom. It is a phrase from our wedding song we sang to each other and is exactly how we feel about each other, more so now than ever before.
Happy 10th anniversary Baby!! I am so thankful and feel so blessed to have you in my life and to have the marriage and friendship we have. I love you!
