10 years and a whole lot of blessings!

I have to say my attitude for most of the day, on our anniversary, was not very good. All I could think was we SHOULD be on a trip somewhere, not doing our same old everyday stuff-Quinn busy working, and me trying to be a happy mom with all the kids and their whining. I mean this is 10 years! Plus I felt I was cheated on my birthday, cuz I really didn't get much of one. So I was definitely feeling sorry for myself. As the day went on I was trying to reflect more on the blessings we have received over the past 10 years and what we have today-which is soo abundant. Much more meaningul than an exotic trip or an extravagant vacation (although THAT would be really nice). Most of the blessings we have are because of the hard work and sacrifice of my wonderful husband. Later in the evening, after taking Ame to dance class, running errands and grabbing dinner (QUinn did get me my favorite COSTA VIDA, which I don't treat myself to very often), he gave me THIS...... We have yet to get our date to La Caille (we had so much going on over the weekend), but that is coming this week. I have always been OK with my small wedding ring (it has been a reflection to me of how our lives truly started-simple, but sweet) but I have secretly wished for an addition to it, over the years. Well QUinn did not disappoint this year. He spoiled me with an anniversary band. This all coming after me giving Quinn the meger gifts I had gotten him. As I opened by generous gifts from him, I was greatly HUMBLED! I truly have so much to be thankful for, much more than fine dining and beautiful jewelry :) But I am soo looking forward to an amazing meal and I LOVE my new ring. This girl is feeling extremely lucky, VERY loved and appreciated!

No, I cannot believe it has been 10 years since that grand Hawaiian affair in the Corcoran backyard. You two have BOTH worked very hard during that time and realized so many dreams and blessings. YES, that is some beautiful ring. Quinn has quite the knack for getting beautiful jewelry! Congrats you two.
