We have always tried to make our anniversary special, just because I think it is important to celebrate love and the commitment we made. Especially these days when long marriages are becoming fewer and farther between. We always take a picture too, and I display it in a sweet frame that a friend bought us for our first anniversary. I want our children to know that Mommy and Daddy love each other. We have taken our picture on Diamond Head in Hawaii, on Sulfur Mountain in Banff, and in front of the Spirit of Washington Dinner train in Seattle. This year: in front of our staircase in our house, with Travis' sunglasses in the background. It may not seem much cause to celebrate, but lately everything is becoming a celebration for us.
Some friends gave us a gift card for Babbin's Seafood Restaurant, so we ate a fabulous dinner there, on Black Friday. I kind of thought if would be really crowded because it was Friday night, and after everyone shopped, they would "drop" at a restaurant for dinner. Nope, it was fairly empty, and we had great service. Then we hurried home to feed Justin and then we went to see the new James Bond movie. Not the big trip we usually take, but we had fun, and we were together. And we didn't even have to find a supply closet in the hospital to duck into!

Congrats on ten years! May you have many, many more to celebrate! :)
Congrats!!! 10 years is a wonderful start to a long and fabulous journey together! So happy for you guys. Sometimes the best moments these days aren't big trips, but simply time spent together at home.
Congrats! That is amazing. 10 years. You're right, I probably don't know anyone that has lasted that long yet. Sad, but true. Well, now i know someone! YEAH! May God bless another 10 for you both.
I used to think renewing vows was for the old folks, but one of my fav shows: jon & kate plus 8, had an episode that they renewed and it was because they wanted to show their 8 kids that they are in it forever, especially since not many parents are anymore. Brought me to tears. It is great that through everything, you are both in it for the long haul.
