On Friday Tim and I celebrated our 10th Anniversary. Yay for us! 🙂
It’s amazing how much has happened in the past 10 years–and how fast the time seems to whiz by. Marriage has been harder than I expected but so much sweeter than I could have imagined as well. I feel tremendously blessed: Blessed to have a husband willing to stick by me no matter what. Blessed to have such cheerful, darling children. Blessed to have a roof over our house (at least for now!). Blessed to be able to have a career I enjoy. I could go on an on…
Oh, and did I mention….blessed to have a husband who will be silly and laugh with me too! 😉
We enjoyed a wonderful date (thanks to Patsy for offering to babysit for us!) at Cheesecake factory. Then we walked around the southdale mall looking for the perfect anniversary gift. I was really hoping that we would be able to do something really special to commemorate 10 years together, but alas, we are broke in the process of trying to get out from under our house, so we had to opt for a gift of $20 or less. It’s all good though, because we had a really fun time walking around the mall looking at our options. Believe it or not, we both agreed on…. wait for it….
our very first family Bingo set!
We agreed that, while Bingo is not the most romantic anniversary gift… it is something we could use for many years, and have fun as a family, and it cost exactly $20. So, that’s what we got! And the kids LOVE LOVE LOVE it! In fact Chloe was so excited that she could hardly go to bed that night… and the next morning Josiah played with the wheel for at least 45 min. before I pried it out of his hands.
Tune back in tomorrow for the exciting conclusion to our hand railing adventure!
Happy Anniversary! Wow, ten years already!
I never thought of Bingo as a family game, since I’ve only known it as an old-person game. As in, the favorite game at the nursing home and the American Legion hall. We always play it on the bus on our trips, too. A lot of people seem to like it. I always have to call the numbers, so I don’t enjoy it so much. Anyway, hope you all have fun with it!
Happy Anniversary to you. 10 years have gone by quickly. We’ll most likely have the same budget for our anniversary as well 🙂
