10 Years

6 - 2

4 - 6

2 - 6

What do those numbers mean, you might be wondering?

Well. On Friday, May 30th, Dan and Britt celebrated their 10th Wedding Anniversary by playing tennis! Britt dominated the first set. The second set was pretty evenly matched, with Dan eeking out a win. The third set was Dan's.

It was wonderful. We had not played tennis in over 6 years (go figure).

We played for a good 2 hours.

The first set made me feel 6 years younger.

The second set made me realize I was in my 30's.

The third set made me feel in my 4o's.

And trying to get one foot out of the car back at home made me feel like I was placing 1 foot in the grave!

Here we are. Ready to play

Our "action" shots :)

I'm so fortunate to have married my best friend. We have fun together. We get on each others nerves at times, but we get over it. We share our hopes, dreams, and dissapointments with each other. We laugh together and I get to cry on Dan's shoulder. We are blessed with 3 precious children together. And thank the Lord we love each other more now then 10 years ago. We pray we can say the same in 10 more years.

Returning to our date, I didn't mention the BEST part yet.

It was an OVER-nighter!!!!

Good friends watched our kids at their house Friday night.

So after cleaning up from tennis, we ate steak at a really good bistro.

Then we went to a 10 o'clock showing of Indiana Jones.

(If only we had matching mugs like J&J....)

Just before the late movie started I suddenly remembered: "Even when we get home, our date will not be over! We don't have to worry about getting home at 12:30 only to be woken up at 6:30 - or multiple times throughout the night. We can sleep in all morning!!!" Which we did - until 11:00. Then we went out for lunch at a pancake house.

It wasn't what we maybe would have planned 10 years ago for our 10th.

But with 3 young kids, the house to ourselves overnight was priceless!

(Thanks Linn and Jenny!)
