Chris is using my computer for work while he waits for his new laptop to arrive. Just thought I’d explain this loooong lapse in posting. 
It’s been a good (albeit forced) computer abstinence. Balance is a good thing! I’ll try to check in soon!

I thought it’d be fun to post some photos from our wedding album. Mom had the album, so I’m a few days late posting these (July 31 is the official date).
Yes, we look young. We were! Chris and I were both 18, which means we’ll be able to enjoy our 50th when we’re only 68… with lots of grown-up kiddos & grandkids to celebrate with, I hope!
It’s been 10 years!

Chris & I celebrated our 10 year anniversary last weekend. We drove up to Savannah the first night to break up the trip. Chris had lots of surprises up his sleeve- he reserved a Bed & Breakfast there, just like we did for our honeymoon! We ate dinner in a historic home, The Olde Pink House, and I received my biggest surprise of the trip- a new ring! My old ring hadn’t fit for months (since becoming pregnant) but I had NO idea this was coming! And he did an amazing job choosing- it is simple and elegant. Wow.
Friday morning, we drove up to Charleston (what a gorgeous drive!) and started exploring the city. It is larger than we expected! When I grew tired from walking, we found a pedi-cab (bicycle with a cart behind for tourists who get tired from walking too much! LOL) who would whisk us away to the acquarium- and just in time! The skies opened up as we paid our admission. After enjoying the fish, jellies, and other exhibits, we walked back to the hotel in a light drizzle… enjoying the historic city all the way.
There is so much to tell of the rest of the trip- fabulous food at every turn, neat historic sights, gorgeous gardens at plantations, a trip to a Whole Foods market (WOW!) and the tranquility of the water… suffice it to say we had a refreshing and memorable 10 year anniversary trip.
I count my blessings to be wed to such a thoughtful hubby (though he did forget to stop for breakfast on our way home- but I think a little grace is ok there, don’t you?!) Here’s to 10 more years and many more memories! Here here!!
