Tenth Anniversary

Last weekend, Brent and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. In some ways, I can't believe that we have been married that long, and in other ways, I can't really remember life before Brent. There is something that makes me feel really old, though, to celebrate a 10th anniversary.

We had said for years that we would take a Mediterranean cruise for our 10th anniversary, but we decided to have two babies instead. Though Greece and Italy would have been nice, we have no regrets about the decision. So, we stayed in OKC, and decided to do the things we don't normally do, living here. On Friday night, we went down and ate dinner at Mickey Mantle's. The food was yummy, and I stuffed myself...appetizer, soup, entree, sides and dessert. On Saturday, we went back down to Bricktown, and played the tourists. We rode the canal boats. Both of us were impressed with the improvements that they have done to Bricktown. It had been a while since we had looked around. This Devon Mosaic at the start of the canal is really impressive.
And the land run statues and park area is looking really nice. It made me think that when the weather is a little cooler, I need to take a book and blanket down there and relax.

In addition to the canal boats, we walked around Bricktown, stopped at the new Bricktown Candy Company for a drink, and ate dinner at Zio's. My body was definitely warn out by the end of our adventure...as you can see, I'm carrying around two babies!

It was a very enjoyable weekend, and even more a great time to reflect on how lucky I am to be married to an amazing man, that I still love so much 10 years later. Brent is kind, funny, sensitive, loving, self-sacrificing, and a man of amazing integrity...and I am a very lucky woman!
