Happy 10 Years M!

I find at our house that Valentine's Day is pretty anti-climactic. We do not do Valentine's Day on February 14th, which used to bother me, but does not any longer. DH is of the camp of "Why should I be romantic on this specific day just because Hallmark and retailers tell me I should?" To his credit, he doesn't poo-poo it and then leave it all together, he actually will surprise me with "Valentine's Day" when I least expect it, with card and everything.

It is kind of interesting that I just remembered this morning that it was 10 years ago today that DH proposed to me, which you would think should be something we would celebrate each year. :)

To celebrate that occasion, I was going to recount the story, but I tried and I just do not do it justice (DH is the one who is gifted in the creative writing in our family). Suffice it to say that it was popular to do big productions for engagements at school and DH wrote this entire play basically that involved spies and espionage, revenge and ultimately a diamond that made it's way into a ring. We spent the evening chasing around Moose Jaw and it ended with a proposal in the outdoor pool at the Temple Gardens Mineral Spa (see picture on the right). It was a wonderful night!

I'm going to get a little mushy now... M, I just wanted to say thank you for asking me to be your wife 10 years ago. Though our lives (do not read marriage here) haven't always been easy over the years, I have never regretted that I said yes to you. You are an amazing man and I count myself privileged to be your wife. I love your sense of humor, your smile, your work ethic and tenacity. I love your willingness to be totally open with me and your desire to always be growing together. I love your intellect and desire to keep learning and how that challenges me. I love how you love our son and how seriously you take your role as R's dad and primary male role model. I love you forever and always!
