Ten Wonderful Years

This weekend Nate and I celebrated our tenth anniversary.  Ten amazing wonderful years.  We dropped the kids off and spent 24 hrs focused on each other.  Our first stop was to get tattoos that we both were so excited to get.  For over ten years, Nate and I have always signed our letters to each other with "Always and Forever".  We decided that this was the perfect tattoos for us...they have a lot of meaning to many emotions, letters, commitments and promises that we have made over the years.  We love our new tattoos.  We love the way they look, we love what they say and we love our anniversary date being on them.  They are perfectly us.

After our tattoos were done my husband took me out for one of my very favorite dinners.  We had hibachi and sushi at Koto.  It was very romantic and it was amazing sitting through a dinner and chatting about anything and everything we wanted.  

The next morning Nate and I went to the cutest little restaurant named Lou's.  Lou's has been around since 1947 and serves delicious food in a adorable diner atmosphere.  We strolled up and down downtown Hanover, NH main street.  A street like this is made for holding hands and window shopping.  There were a ton of cute local stores.  We decided to go to an antique store and we completely lost track of all time as we looked at all of the beautiful and unique treasures.  Nate and I are quite confident that we will end up being the old couple who antiques every weekend and holds hands in our wooden rocking chairs on the front porch on weeknights.  It is good to have goals and these are ours. 

 We also made a quick stop at Beaver Pond Farm which has been family owned and operated since 1780!  How amazing is that?   They had great local produce and yummy treasures like Strawberry Rhubarb Jam and Mango Salsa. 

This weekend we laughed, chatted, held hands, kissed in public, drove wherever our hearts desired and did all the things that make us, US.  In my ten years of planning what our ten year anniversary would be like, all of my dreams never came close to how perfect this weekend was.  I am the luckiest women to spend my life as Nate's wife and I couldn't be more thankful for him or in love with him.
