I've had two biggie milestones this week. I had the 30th birthday on Sunday and now the 10 year anniversary today. I surprised Chris with beer and potato soup for dinner. Now, go easy on me. I never buy beer because it's disgusting and expensive, but he really likes it, so I splurged. And as for the soup, it's his favorite dinner that I cook.
He also got cake. I'm making a cake for a baby shower, so I needed to practice my decorating. (I made sure I informed him that I wasn't announcing anything first.) He came home from work early, so I was in the middle of decorating the cake and I hadn't started dinner yet, so it wasn't quite the nice surprise I had all planned out.
I showed Clara how to take a picture of us. Here's two of the four she took (the other two were of Chris before I sat down). I can't believe she actually got us in the frame. Isn't it a great shot? She's a natural, Grandma.
Then I said we should go have some cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory. We walked the mall first and I told him I wanted to go into the jewelry shop and get my ring inspected and cleaned in honor of our 10 years. While we were there, I told the employee we would like to look at the men's bands and informed Chris that I was getting him a new band for our anniversary. His has been way too small forever and it always bugged him when he wore it. I guess that's what you get when you spend, like, $30 on a wedding band. He hasn't worn a ring basically our entire marriage. (I have always made him put it on for family pictures, though.)
We've looked at the comfort fit ones before and he's said he would like to get one, so this wasn't just me trying to get my hubby to wear a wedding ring. It really hasn't bothered me too much that he doesn't wear one. I just thought the 10 year mark would be the perfect time to present him with a new one. And he was surprised! I'm always so bad at keeping secrets, so I was proud of myself that I was able to pull off a surprise for once.
We then headed over to the Factory, but the line was out the door and it was already past Clara's bedtime, so we decided maybe we'll do the cheesecake thing tomorrow.

Happy, happy anniversary! The second ten years will go by twice as fast as the first.
I'm proud of Clara's photography skills. I think for birthday or Christmas, her very own camera is in order!
I, too, wanna say happy anniversary to you. How can you guys be old enough to be married ten years? What a nice wife to make his favorites!
That was such a great idea to have Sweet Pea take your picture. She is a great shot...amazing! You will have to keep that one forever.
Have fun with Grandma and Grandpa!!

Happy late anniversary! At least you didn't have the seven year itch.
Wow, where has the time gone! You are making me feel really old! Happy 10th Anniversary. Hugs, Jacki & Howard
I know, right? How can I be old enough to be married ten years??
Jacki- It's funny; it just doesn't feel like it was all that long ago, but Madison was just 2, Linsey was a junior in high school and you guys were just getting into the teenager years. Man, time flies and I too feel really old.
Thanks for the well wishes!
