10 years

Yesterday (August 15th) Andy and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. We had talked over the last few years about taking a trip just the 2 of us. But instead of taking a trip to somewhere in Europe like we had dreamed about, we went to an Italian restaurant. I think we have traveled enough recently, don't you think? As we were at dinner, we were thinking back over the last 10 years and realized that we have been through a lot . . . .  Andy has had 6 jobs (even been unemployed for a period of 9 months), 3 kiddos have joined us, 2 moves (1 international), several lay-offs. . .  I think that change is our constant! ;-)

I know that I am extremely blessed to be married to such a wonderful guy. As we talked, we were so thankful that even through (or maybe because of) so much change in our lives our marriage has only grown stronger. So, Andy, I am so glad to be on our adventure through life together! Who knows where we will be in another 10 years?

At the Italian restaurant, each main course included a drink and dessert. Our server informed us that the drink could be ANYTHING (beer, soft drinks, even the smoothies). Andy was excited to have a Guinness and I choose a mango smoothie. Don't you think I ordered well? This was amazing - a mango sorbet smoothie. I had to request an extra spoon so Andy could help me finish it! The stuff on the top is not whipped cream, just LOTS of smoothie yumminess.
