Our 10th wedding anniversary

Well we had our 10th wedding anniversary on Friday and it was a night and day to remember. About a few months ago D suggested that we get our pictures taken on or around our anniversary this year since this was the year we were due to get our family pictures taken. So we said it would be a great idea. Then D suggested that I get into my wedding dress and we have the girls wear their flower girl dresses from their aunt and uncles wedding last year. So I thought it sounded like a great idea. Something that would be fun, creative and exciting. So we had our favorite photographer at Open Image Studio come and take our pictures. He really had a vision of taking them on our red couch in our back yard. So we brought out the couch and got some great shots on the couch. He should have them up on his blog in a week so when he puts them up I will attach a link. We got Nathan a little suit and he looked so cute in it. I was afraid that he would say "I said No" to me putting it on and make a big fuss but he had no troubles wearing it and he looked so cute in it. The girls also looked adorable in their dresses and D looked as handsome as he did when we got married in his suit.

After we got our pictures taken D's mom took the kids and we changed into causal clothes and went to a park to get more photographs. We got some pictures taken in a swing together, behind a old building with deteriorating paint and in front of a white house. So we will see how they look. I am excited to see them and I was downstairs changing into my wedding dress when the photographer was taking the kids pictures. So I do not really know what poses or how that was going so I will be excited to see how they turned out. It was fun to do and I hope we will be able to do it again on our 20th wedding anniversary.

After the pictures we went to a downtown restaurant and had a nice relaxing dinner. I surprised him at home with his 10 wedding anniversary gift, which is tin/aluminum, of an aluminum bucket that you put ice and beverages in. He really liked it and he got me a "tin cup" necklace with pearls and amethysts. It is really pretty and I was excited to wear it but it was broken so we have to send it back so I will have to wait to see how it looks on.

We also got really good news on the 29th that we had a contract coming in for our house in Tennessee. We were so excited but I know that it is the very beginning of the process and we will see if everything goes well. The contract says that we should close no later than July 7th. So that would be prefect. So I am hoping that everything goes well and this one goes smoothly.

D also surprised me for our anniversary by getting his hair cut shorter, which he did not really have to, but it was a nice suggestion. He also sent me lovely flowers and chocolate. Here are some of the beautiful flowers he sent me.


Things I am grateful/thankful for:
-Having great weather this weekend
-Spending good quality time with D on our anniversary
-knowing that someone likes our house in TN
-feeling happy
