10th Anniversary

I should have posted this BEFORE our moving post...but I am forgetful! Anyhow, we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary on May 21! Wow! Cannot believe we have been married for 10 years (together for 13th)! You really get to know a person (good & bad) in that amount of time. My mother in law was here through the morning of our anniversary, so we decided to celebrate a day early and leave Aidan with her to have a Mema-Aidan date! They of course had a blast, as did we! I had a coupon for dinner @ the Melting Pot in Lakewood. It's a fondue restaurant, so you start out with a salad, then move onto the cheese course, then the meat course & finally dessert (and a bottle of wine)! Well, we made reservations, get seated and then were promptly forgot about (we had to make early reservations, 4:30 pm, to use the coupon). Well, Ron finally went out to find our serves and he said they freaked out and scattered in all directions to get us a server! So, on top of our coupon we received our dessert on the house, a $100+ meal for just around $60! Woot!

I stole these questions from one of my girlfriends blogs who also recently celebrated her 10th anniversary(thanks Kali). Since Dr. Daddy is often MIA, I will answer them. Maybe someday we can find a minute & I can get his answers too!
 1. What has brought you closer together this year? Graduating medical school & a cross country move to Virginia.
 2. What is your favorite memory of this year together? Medical school graduation, surrounded by friends & family!
 3. If you could relive any day of this past year, what would it be? Halloween! Ron came back from being gone for four months of away rotations and was able to take Aidan trick-or-treating!
 4. What is the best thing about being married? Having someone to share in the good, bad & ugly things in life!
 5. Anything shocking you have learned about your spouse? I never imagined he would become a doctor, let alone join the Navy!
 6. What is a bonus quality you didn't know about your spouse until this year? I always knew he was a caring person, but reading his surveys from practice exams they take during medical school, I learned he is a very sincere, honest and caring individual.
 7. What is one of your favorite personality traits of your spouse? He is very funny & has a very calming personality trait.
 8. What are some of the most memorable moments you have had in the last 10 years? Any and all graduations, birth of Aidan, the death of his father (and how he was not only a calming factor for his mother, but also a take charge kind of guy), many visits to zoos, aquariums and museums; many, many moves.
  9. Most memorable trips? Several trips to Seattle, delayed honeymoon to southern California, Rockies and; Broncos games, move to Virginia
10. What is something you have learned from your spouse? Learning to remain calm in high pressure situations & to live each day w/out looking too far into the future!
