Anniversary!

Thayne and I celebrated our 10th anniversary a couple of days ago. I can't believe it's been that long! I can honestly say that I love him so much more than I did 10 years ago. We've gone through some very hard times but have always come out with more love for one another than we started with! I think most of you know, but our first date was Oct. 3rd, 1997, we were engaged on Nov. 3rd, 1997, and were married on Dec. 27th, 1997. We know it was FAST, but we survived and have become better people and better spouses!

On our first year anniversary, Thayne planned this huge "Walk down memory lane" date. He took me to places that we went when we were dating.......except one! We drove up the canyon and stopped at this HUGE rock. He said, "Do you remember coming up here and making out right here?". Well to make a long story short, it wasn't me he spent time with at the rock! At first he was adamant that it was me, but he finally gave in and admitted that he was wrong. And...that was the last spot of the "Walk down memory lane" date so, of course, it is the one and only spot I remember! I bring it up ALLL the time....hehehehe.....and he always looks a bit embarrassed. He blames it on the fact that we got married so fast, which may be true!

Well on this anniversary we decided to go to Indianapolis and celebrate at a Murder Mystery Dinner. We both received parts in the play which was a lot of fun! The food was great and the murder mystery show was very enjoyable. We were almost at the end when I excused myself and went to the restroom. When I returned there was beautiful wrapped jewelry box on my place setting. Thayne bought be a beautiful diamond ring! It is very unique and very lovely. It even FIT, so I could wear it right away!

On the way to Indianapolis, Thayne and I each took turns telling each other why we love the other. This was a great moment, I think! We always say "I love you!" but often times don't follow it up with why. It gave me the chance to tell him EVERYTHING that I love about him and to hear why he loves me. He seriously is my hero and my true love! He knows what I need and almost (I say almost cuz sometimes I have to remind him!) always meets those needs with a smile and a hug! I feel so blessed and honored to be his wife!

We're on our way out the door for our big date!















My big surprise!
