Yesterday was Mark's and my 10th Anniversary. It's hard to believe that we've been married for that long. There so much comfort that comes with being married a while, same inside jokes, memories, movie quotes. You most of the time know what each other is thinking (MOST of the time) but you still have to pray lots so you don't say the wrong thing. Our marriage has not been without very tough times as some people know but by the grace of God, it's been an amazing 10 years. The Lord has blessed me so much more than I could have ever imagined or deserved. He has given me such a love for Mark that I can't even begin to describe. I thought that I loved him when I married him....that was barely the beginning
Anyway, so yesterday we celebrated. We were down in Okoboji, so Mark's parents watched the kids while we went on a much needed date. We went to our usual shopping places to check out stuff that we hadn't seen in a year. It was really muggy so we ended up skipping mini-golf (our usual anniversary date thing), and went to a furniture store instead, just to check things out and be in air conditioning. It was fun! If we had lots of money, we would have walked out with a table and chairs and a new bed, but alas. hehe Then we headed to a restaurant. The whole time, I just wanted to tell everyone that it was our 10th annivesary. I don't think that anyone cared as much as we did, so I kept it MOSTLY to myself. So anyway, back to the restaurant. I wanted pasta and Mark wanted a steak so we ended up at Minerva's. I ordered their cajun chicken pasta (YUMMMMM) and Mark got a New York Strip and added some shrimp. I DID tell our waitress that it was our anniversary so she said that she had a desert for us. To celebrate, I ordered a glass of wine (something I never do, but it sounded good and it's our TENTH!) and Mark ordered a caffeinated pop, something he's not allowed to do. hehe So we ate our delicious food and then had our free dessert (warm brownie with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce Mmmm). Then after that we headed to Super 8 (a movie). I had NO clue what it was about. I just knew that it was a Steven Spielberg and JJ Abrams flick, so I was game. I really liked it! I won't say anything about it except that it had the feel of ET but more suspenseful and maybe like Close Encounters of the Third Kind but with humor like The Goonies. If you saw it, you'd agree. :) It was good. I'd watch it again sometime.
That was our celebration. We didn't get each other anything big because we're closing on a house that we LOVE on July 27th and decided that that was a good enough present. :)
Kind of funny. I just realize that my first post on Adventures in Buffalo didn't actually occur in Buffalo. hahaha
Us after 10 years of marriage. :)
