10 year Anniversary

Derek and I just celebrated our 10 year anniversary. In some ways it seems the 10 years have flown by......yet, at the same time, it feels like it's been a lot longer. We have been through a lot together and it has not always been easy, sometimes putting a strain on our relationship but, no matter what, we stick together and work through things.....and we always will. Derek said it best when he said "it's been a great 10 years with 3 amazing kids and tons of great memories."

Thursday, May 29th was our actual anniversary. Avery had her last soccer game last night so we spent the night doing what we all love....watching/playing soccer. Friday night was already filled up with the school's Spring Fling so we decided we would do something on Saturday. Derek said he would take care of finding a babysitter and planning the day. I was very pleasantly surprised with the date he put together for our anniversary! He found a sitter for the entire day and we set out on a day in London.

The date started off with lunch at Chipotle. Then we made our way to the Apollo Victoria Theater and we had amazing seats to see the musical Wicked!

 

He had even made dinner reservations for after the show and planned the route we would walk to the restaurant from the theater. The walk took us through St James park, along the river and past Buckingham Palace, and then by Trafalgar Square.

 

The restaurant he booked us as at was on a boat on the river Thames that is docked right across from the London Eye. We both had really yummy steaks!

 

It was a great date. Of course we talked about our wonderful kids a lot and worrying how they were (we don't leave them anywhere ever, really). It was so good to be able to get out just the two of us though and the kids were fine, well-behaved and were very happy to be getting a break from Mom and Dad! :)
