Today we are celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary. I can't believe how fast the years has flew by in our marriage. Seems just like yesterday we were driving to Toledo, Ohio to get married at the county court house. Yes! I said county court house.... Our wedding had been planned, my dressed picked out and everything then we got into a disagreement and cancelled the wedding. It was not a fairytale wedding ceremony we just eloped. The only thing I miss is not having a wedding picture. My father did throw us a wedding reception which was really nice and we went on our honeymoon to Canada. Since then God has blessed our union and has been the head of our lives every since.
We decided to try out a newly opened "Cheesecake Factory" for the first time. When we arrived it was an hour wait so we walked the mall and did some window shopping. Stopping into the jewelry store where we brought our wedding rings years ago. While there the clerk asked to clean and reshape my rings which I agreed to. Well after I got my rings back I noticed one of my stones was missing. So now I have to wait a week to get it back. Bummer.. I guess all the dirt was holding it in.
The restaurant was really nice and crowded. They first sat us at a table in between people which I did not like. I requested to be moved to a booth because it was more private and intimate. I mean come on it's our anniversary. The food was a nice portion and delicious. My husband had Spicy Chicken Chipotle Pasta. I had Pasta Da Vinci. For desert we shared a slice of Pineapple Upside-Down Cheesecake.
To sum it up I really had a great day and some awesome years with my husband. I'm looking forward to our next anniversary which will be our 20th.
Marika,
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled upon your blog while looking for an easy sweet potato/yam recipe. The pictures of your beautiful boys involved in cooking, games, homework etc. made me heart smile. I am 47, single, no kids and always saw myself with a loving husband and boys such as yours. It may not happen for me, (still praying and hoping:) but I thank God for you and other sisters who have been
blessed with a wonderful family to love and be loved. God Bless and thanks for the effort you have put into sharing your passion.
