10 Years

Thursday June 20, 2013....Matt and I celebrated our 10th Anniversary!  We had originally wanted to take a trip somewhere but  as life often goes you have to go with Plan B (which we did not have). We played it cool, but we both had a few surprises up our sleeves that were not revealed to each other until that day which made it pretty memorable.  Matt got up early before I woke and picked up Kyle to come out for the day and help tend the little kids so we could go spend the day out together.  Matt surprised me with a new ring!!  I love it!

We bought a light lunch and took it to the park near Bower's mansion.  We hiked a bit and then found found a table made just for us...

We went shopping in Reno and then it was time for me to pull my surprise on Matt.  I had put directions in the GPS and he had to follow them to our destination.  I had booked us a Suite in downtown Reno for the night.  His bag was already packed and in the trunk...he had no idea, it was great!

The hotel had sent up a bottle of champagne and a card from the General Manager of the casino wishing us a happy 10th anniversary...was a nice touch!

We decided to go to Olive Garden for dinner since that is where we had our wedding dinner.  Yes, I realize this photo is ridiculous...ridiculously funny!  At our wedding dinner our guests made us do this with a bread stick (it's actually in our wedding album).  We decided to recreate it (outside where no one would see us of course).  I could not stop laughing.

Over dinner I gave Matt this new watch.  "No measure of time will be enough time with you."

I also gave him a list of 10 things I have learned about being married...the funny version (my own).  It was meant to make him laugh,  which he did. Later that night we ripped up the dance floor...we have pictures of that, but those are strictly for blackmailing.  Anyone who knows us knows we love to laugh.  I am lucky to have someone who can make me laugh until I cry.  I love you Matt!
