Today Dale and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. I truly cannot believe we’ve been married that long! It seems like just last year that I was walking down the aisle, Meredith was singing, flowers were thrown, and then it was over. We had a lovely day today—Dale brought me breakfast in bed, along with a very sexy black velvet item . . . and also an elegant, beautiful three-stone diamond pendant that symbolizes our past, present, and future together. Later on in the day I received a dozen red roses, and we had a very special dinner together (along with Kayleigh, of course) at the Austin Land & Cattle Company, our favorite restaurant in town and where we go to celebrate just about anything. We received complementary champagne from the restaurant in honor of our anniversary, and lots of people around us said happy anniversary and also commented on what a beautiful little baby we had; twice women in the bathroom told me how nice I looked. Who could argue with that?
I presented Dale with a mandolin, which he was delighted with and immediately started playing and couldn’t tear himself away. Much to my surprise, he said he’s never laid hands on one before! I am pleased beyond words that I was able to make his eyes light up with my gift to him. These ten years have flown by and it has been wonderful to share them with him—I’m looking forward greatly to the next ten.
P.S. Thank you Auntie Rita and Grama Karl for looking after Jonathan so we could go out to dinner!
Posted by elizabeth at October 15, 2004 10:48 PMYou are so welcome! I told grandma (my mom) last night that the last time I had babysat was with Kathleen and we ate the unsuspecting parents out of house and home. I had fun with Jonathan. We read poetry together.
You guys looked absolutely beautiful last night. I am glad you had such a wonderful day/evening.

March 17th will be our 10th anniversary. It doesn't seem as if we've been together almost ten years! Actually, the weekend of the 22nd of this month we will have known each other exactly ten years.
Aww...I wanna babysit! I haven't babysat since Meredith and Jennifer were little, and that has been eons ago!!
