Ten Years!

As you may recall, last year I spent my husband and my 9th wedding anniversary blogging and watching “Friends” reruns while my husband went out with the guys.  I wasn’t upset about it, really. In fact, I kind of liked the alone time. 

To celebrate 10 years (2 shaky years and 8 good ones), we have decided to celebrate all year long by subscribing to the Broadway Series at Playhouse Square.  That’s 7 dates (which I am pretty sure is more than we had this past year.)  I’m very much looking forward to it!

On our actual anniversary this past weekend, my parents came over to watch our son while we went to a movie on Friday night (The Soloist) and dinner on Saturday night (Fire-food and drink). The date had to be split into two evenings due to the high stakes sports night that Saturday was supposed to be.  Sadly, we should have just went to dinner AND a movie on Saturday because watching the Cavs lose their shot at the finals, and watching the Indians lose to the Yankees, AND watching the Penguins lose to the Redwings was a little much even for this non-rabid sports fan. (Check out my friend Lisa’s blog entry about Cleveland Sports!) Regardless, it was still a very nice weekend.

It is interesting to be married for 10 years. It doesn’t seem like a big deal or a long time until you start walking around your house and realize almost everything in it you received as a wedding present, and you’ve had it all for 10 years.  The plates we eat off of, 10 years. The vacuum cleaner, 10 years. The toaster, 10 years. Silverware, glasses, that weird picture of a lemon, all 10 years old. Our mattress, 11 years! (Dude, we need a new mattress!), our Dog, 12 years. It really makes one wonder where the time has gone, and it makes me want to haul ass to Crate and Barrel and get some new, hipper, trendier stuff. Alas, baby on the way prevents an extreme shopping spree.  Maybe when we move to Montana (hopefully in about three years), we’ll just chuck the old and get all new stuff.
