Vacation! part three


Ten years
! That seems like such a long time, yet when I look back, it doesn't feel like ten years... some times it feels like more. Other days it feels less. This post is dedicated to our tenth anniversary. I'll get back to the vacation pictures in the next post.

Bill dedicated a post to me on his blog (click here to read the wonderful poem he wrote). I wanted to take a post to dedicate to him some of the things we've shared over the last ten years.

1) He's endured the self-portraits as I've gotten better at taking them
2) We have spent a lot of fun times cooking together in the kitchen
3) We enjoy traveling together and have spent many hours in the car (how many different cars is another post...)
4) We share a love of Formula 1 racing and were able to see one of the last races in Indianapolis
5) We appreciate art and architecture
6) We have worked together on many, many house projects
7) We enjoy walking together
8) We enjoy being outside, whether it's at Meijer Gardens or in our own backyard
9) He's the yin to my yang

And the tenth thing we've shared a lot of in the past ten years is laughter. He always knows how to make me laugh, and while he doesn't always laugh out loud at my [bad] jokes, I know he's laughing on the inside.

We spent the day of our tenth anniversary doing many of those things listed above. We drove to Chicago for a long weekend. It seemed fitting since we went to Manhattan for our fifth anniversary. Originally we had thought about San Francisco, but decided Chicago was not only closer (and would be cheaper) but that we should work our way out west. San Francisco is still on the list, but we'd like suggestions as to where to go for our 15th anniversary?? What do you suggest?
