My Anniversay
So this past weekend I celebrated my anniversary with my husband. It has been 10 years! Our actual anniversary was July 29 but we chose to celebrate it on the weekend, you know. Every year we plan something fun to do and this year my hubby wanted to celebrate at Navy Pier in Chicago. We went on a dinner cruise on the Spirit of Chicago. This was my first time on a ship besides when I worked on the casino boat for a few months. I truly enjoyed this experience I must say. Oh let me go back a bit to that Thursday. Our two older kids ages 13 and 8 made us breakfast in bed and my 2 year old ate most of my breakfast in bed. That was a first also, we had eggs, waffles, toast and Hawaiian punch no meat. The kids are just learning to cook and I was pretty proud of them for making those eggs all by themselves. Anyway back to the cruise. It was so exciting. During boarding we met a couple that was celebrating their 50th anniversary and wethought I had reached a milestone. I long to see the day we reach 50 years. That is so awesome. So as we boarded they took our photo that’s a great way to remember the day. Once we were on the ship they took us to our table and it was amazing there was rose petals on the table with drinking glasses set up just for us. We were given champagne and we made a toast, the DJ announced the celebration, there was music and dancing, great food and a spectacular view of the Chicago skyline. The cruise was only two hours but it felt like 8. I wish it had of lasted a few more hours but after all of that, I can just do it again really soon.
My hubby has been telling me for almost a week now how much he enjoyed the day. I am so thankful and I look forward to what the next 10 years will bring. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on the romantic things a couple can do cause I am always looking for someplace to go and something to do. And so far each year he has enjoyed what ever place I find for us to go.
