10 years of Love

Greg and I went on our ten year anniversary a little early.  December 20th is a really bad time to "get away".  So we decided to celebrate in September.  We went to the very far away city of ........Cincinnati.  After dreaming of Europe and thinking about going on a mini cruise,  it was just cheaper ( I love cheap) and made more sense to explore the new city that we now live in.  Greg found out that Ghost the musical was coming to town.  We have been listening to the sound track for a least 6 months.  That really sealed the deal.

  Up first we went to a REDS game.  It was a beautiful day.  And even though it was cool, we both got a lot of sun.  After the game was over we walked around the city exploring for several hours.  We went to the public library ( yes, I am my father's daughter) and got a map.  We wondered down to the river and watched the boats go by on swings for a long time.  Then we wondered over to Grater's Ice cream and had a banana split.  Then we walked to the theater to watch Ghost.  It was wonderful!  Awesome musical. 

 The next day, we did NOTHING!  That was wonderful too.  We stayed in our hotel room the whole day.  We watched Ghost the movie and compared and contrasted.  Then we watched Duck Dynasty for around 5 hours straight.  We went to go eat at a famous Cincinnati restaurant, but I can't remember the name now..... Then we went back to our room and did more of nothing.  It was a fabulous day.

The next day we drove to Louisville so we could go to the temple.  We were going to go to Columbus but they were closed for cleaning.  ( Good thing we checked!)  After the temple, we went out to eat at Ruth Chris for the first time.  The food was SOOOO Good.  That one meal cost about a week and have of groceries but It. Was. Awesome.  (if you were wondering we had gift cards.  I am not sure if I would have been able to go other wise)

 

It was wonderful time.  It has been a wonderful marriage.  I have come to realize that I have this awesome talent/flaw ( depends on how you look at it) that I only remember the good things.  I can only remember happy times in high school unless someone reminds me.  I also can only remember happy times in Lebanon. Again unless someone reminds me.  Luckily I have no one to remind me of the bad times in my marriage.  I only remember the good.

 

Greg is my best friend.  We hang out every day and the whole time he is home from work.  Sometimes, ( ever since we have moved here) I can go days without talking to another adult.  But I don't mind.

Sometime, I am not sure when, but we got to the point were our marriage has synergy.  Greg knows what I like and how I like things.  Like wise, I know what I can do to make him happy.  If he is happy, then I am.  If I am happy, he is.   It has been a wonderful few years.

 

Also we do choose to "not sweat the small stuff" and sometimes the "small stuff" isn't "small". But what good does being mad about it do?  If it happened, it happened.  We let it go, and move on.  If the problem needs to be fixed, we decide how to fix it with out resentment or finger pointing.  We really are a team working on our goals. 

I love you more than I thought possible. I am sad when you are not with me. 

I am.  I am.  I am the luckiest . ( one of Greg's favorite songs)
