Happy Anniversary to us!!

On Thursday, Kyle and I celebrated 10 years of marriage. We've been through the best of times and the worst of times and have grown stronger through it all...

It's funny how fate works.. we met the very first weekend of college - a private college that I transferred to after completely revamping my major from psychology to biology.   Kyle and two other roomates were throwing a big party at their college apartment and put fliers under a lot of the new freshman's doors (probably more of the women's doors, I'm sure).   At the party, I met both of his roommates (who ended up being groomsmen at our wedding) and a lot of his fraternity brothers, but never met Kyle before the cops broke up the event.   The next night, I was hanging out at one of his fraternity brother's apartments with my dormmate, Kris, (who also has been married as long as us and has been trying a baby for as long as us - coincidence? ) and in walks Kyle.   Now, I know this sounds cheese-ball, but the instant I met him I felt a mixture of butterflies in my stomach and complete familiarity.   After the introductions, we all walked over to a local party. At the party, Kyle and I sat on a couch and just talked for hours and hours, completely oblivious to everything and everyone around us.   I'll never ever forget that evening!!

So, here we are today - a decade under our belt and hopefully many, many, more years to come. And, god willing, an addition to our family in the near future.

My parents brought us to this super fancy restaurant in the Ritz Carlton last weekend to celebrate.   At the dinner, we were served a complimentary amuse bouche (a pre-appetizer, which I only learned about while watching "Top Chef" episodes) and they brought Kyle and I an after dinner truffle plate with "Happy Anniversary "written in chocolate. It was such a fun celebration and delicious and beautifully presented food!!   Kyle also surprised me on Thursday with a cute card and some gorgeous wildflowers with my favorite flower - the sunflower. We weren't supposed to get anything for each other due to our big trip planned, but it was so cool to get a surprise like that!! I love you, hon!!
