Our Tenth Anniversary!

Russ and I celebrated our tenth anniversary last week. I was awoken by a balloon popping and when I got out of bed, found the entire floor of our bedroom covered with balloons. And each balloon had a special message written on it. 

When Russ returned home from work, he brought me some beautiful red roses.  Red roses are Russ's favorite flower but I only receive them on very special occassions because he knows that I like a lot of other flowers.

I covered our bedroom door in hearts with love messages on them.  After discovering that the traditional gift for the tenth anniversary is tin or aluminum, I made a little tin plaque and punched the word "ten" on it.

 We had a wonderful baby-sitter watch the children and we went out for the afternoon and evening.  We did a bunch of random things and ate at a mexican restaurant and then came home and had dessert.....homemade ice-cream and brownies!

 Happy ten years of marriage sweetheart!  I love you more than words can say!
