10 Years & Counting

August 28, 2009 marked 10 years of Marital Bliss for Chris and I. What a busy day! We started the day walking Alivia to school where Chris stayed behind so she could try the school's free breakfast program (how cool is that?!). Next, we loaded up and went and got Chris and my picture taken to mark 10 years together (I will share those later). Once back at home, my parents took Addison and Asher, while Chris, my Dad and I went house shopping (after listing our home Thursday night). We narrowed it down to 3 homes! Yeah! We got home in time to pack an overnight back, spiff the house a bit, and walk up to get Alivia from school. After the crazy day, we could not wait for our couples massage scheduled for 4:30! We said our good byes to the kiddos (who were going to Mamas Pizza before staying with my parents at the farm), and off to our massage we went!

Guess what? They made a scheduling error and we did not have an appointment! We were more than disappointed and will be writing a letter to express that!

We went downtown to the hotel night we received as a gift from Chris' parents. We walked the Old Market before going to dinner where it all began nearly 13 years ago, Old Chicago! That's right, our first date was at Old Chicago downtown in October of 1996. Our listing agents gave us a giftcard, too, so I ended up being a cheap date.

We walked around Con Agra park, watching the water and ducks before going back to our room for the night.

For our anniversary gift this year we hope to buy a flat screen tv to go above the mantel in our new, unpurchased home (that is if our home ever sells). We also hope to take a nice trip together this winter sometime. After all, you only get 1 ten year wedding anniversary!

Although Chris and I were both rather sick with colds and we did not get our long awaited 10th anniversary massage, we were able to spend and celebrate our 10th anniversary together! Here's to many more...
