10th Anniversary

Greg and I celebrated our anniversary on the 25th. In some ways, its hard to believe it's already been 10 whole years!! But, when you consider that we have been parenting for 21 collective years (we arrived at this fact by adding the ages of our kids), it seems like we should be years further!! Either way, its been a great 10 yrs (or 21) and we were excited to celebrate it!!

Greg took the initiative this year and planned the whole night. I worried needlessly about his first time planning.... That morning, 2 dozen beautiful red roses came to my door. Then, that afternoon he frosted me with some diamonds. That evening, he had a limo pick us up and take us to a fantastic dinner in Temple. I'd say he did quite well!! All I had to do was call a sitter and go shopping for a dress....thanks to my sista friend Tanya that was a blast!! Our favorite sitter that we all love, got sick last minute so we had a moment of panic, but our good friends the Simpsons graciously kept the kids along with their 3 and 2 others so we could still enjoy our date. I can't even imagine their night with 9 kids!!!! But, because of the change in plans, the kids got to ride in the limo over to their house- they loved that!! When we left, it was POURING down rain~ I was so thankful we didn't have to drive and weren't in the date car!! When we got back into town, we took all 9 pajama clad kids, and of course the parents, for a ride!! In spite of the snags, we had a very memorable night!
