Our 9th Anniversary




Robert and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary on October 4th. I have to say it was a memorable one and I was very impressed with the extent of arrangements my husband did to make the day special. He had arranged for my parents to spend the night and watch our boys while we went to LaCrosse Wisconsin to have a nice dinner and spend the night in a hotel. That morning Robert gave me a bouquet of flowers and asked me if he could take me on a date that night....very sweet. (Of course I said yes!) He asked if I noticed what kind of flowers they were and actually I had not. He had gotten 9 roses (red and yellow) for the years and 2 Gerber Daisies to represent the boys. Very creative! October 4th was a gorgeous fall Wednesday here in Decorah and there was no school that day so I felt like it was a Saturday. I was able to get away for a while and go on a long 5 mile run. During the fall the leaves are so beautiful that the run goes by really fast. Then when I came home my mom was at the house. That was when Robert told me we were leaving town for the night. I was very surprised because he had to find someone to open Trendz the next day because I always work Thursdays. We ate at a wonderful restaurant and our hotel room had a beautiful view of the Mississippi River (see picture). Robert had even brought Champange and Champange classes from home to celebrate in our room. I was not expecting any gifts after such a wonderful evening but he continued to surprise me with a card containing a gift certificate for an hour massage. Wow, I have to say I was so impressed and had the best time with my wonderful and thoughtful husband. Thank you, thank you Robert!!!

Tonight was spaghetti night so I just had to take a picture of Ty sucking in some spaghetti. He loves it. I hope everyone is doing well. I will post again soon.
