in sickness & in health

Mike and I celebrated our 10th anniversary yesterday. Well...to be honest, "celebrated"* might be exaggerating a bit.

Mike came home early from work and gave me 10 beautiful red roses. We had a long hug, an "oh, don't, you'll catch my germs" smooch, went out for something to eat and were home by 5:30. Mike tucked me in on the sofa, brought me a cup of tea and I promptly fell asleep, hugging my box of Puffs Plus.

*The nice thing about marriage is that it isn't a one day event - you can choose to make a celebration out of your 10 year, 1 week & 3 day anniversary. Or even your every other day anniversary. There is no wrong day for a little "Hey! We're married! Yay us!"

p.s. 10 years? A DECADE? Wow, time sure flies. (and yes, I was a child bride. I was. Really.)

Time flies? It seems like yesterday when my wife and I were in college. We had our 42nd anniversary last month.

If someone kisses you when your nose is running it must be true love. Congrats you two.

Ten years? Congratulations to the both of you!

It sounds like you've about got him trained.

And about that Child Bride thing, I sorta suspected, but felt awkward bringing it up...

There is no wrong day for a little "Hey! We're married! Yay us!"Actually, by definition, it's not an anniversary unless it's on a year mark from the original event. Though, for those of you that can actually make a marriage last that long, the last sentence is definitely true.

Congratulations.

Yay! And many more!

Congrats,
Next year for number 11 remember that the traditional gift is "steel." My wife got me a beautiful ex sniper Mosin-Nagant 91/30 as an anniversary gift.

WAS a child bride?

You're STILL a child bride!

How do you stay so young looking?

Must be clean living, good loving, plenty of cats and plenty of shooting.

Congrats to both of you.

Jennifer said...

Yeah, I was a child bride too. Belated congratulations. The evylrobot and I just celebrated 10 years in December.

Eric said...

Belated congratulations! My wife and I are rapidly approaching our 20th (5/20).

I used to get her roses for each year, until it got out of hand around our 17th.
