Thank you for all of your enthusiasm on this past
weekend's giveaway, it was good one!
My husband and I had such a lovely weekend away, my goodness! It was such a wonderful break to celebrate and reflect on the first 10 years of our marriage! It really was magical!
He's a pretty good date, I have to say! It was so nice to just be together -- walking around, eating yummy food and visiting with the locals. Yes, we pretty much ate and drank our way around Lake George!
Of course there was a little sewing, too! You'll either think I'm a really good Aunt or not so much -- but I had thought my nieces birthday was the 10th of May all month and then the morning we left I was reminded that it is this Wednesday, the 2nd. A special crown and simple quilted pillow were in order and had to be made by noon Saturday to make it to her in time. Thankfully my husband didn't mind, or notice, I'm pretty sure he was sleeping during all the making anyways. Hotel sewing = not too bad!
I had even planned to work on my Polaroid bee blocks, if the weather turned out to be nasty, but there just wasn't the time. The weather was sunny but cool, and so we made the most it. I am looking forward to finishing these up today!
Before you think I'm crazy for sewing on our little trip, my husband was just as bad! He ran in the Lake George Half Marathon on Sunday morning. I still can't believe how well he did considering how much fun and how little sleep we had both Friday and Saturday. He finished with a time of 1:29:52, came in 10th out of hundreds of runners and took 2nd in his age division. I'm always amazed by him and his attitude. He is truly the most inspiring person I know!
It's been an amazing 10 years. I can't wait to see how much more our love, connection and memories will grow in our next decade together!!
Wishing you all a wonderful start to another new week! ♥ Maureen

10 years! Thats is fabulous! My husband and I are only at 5 1/2 years so far, but it is really amazing how much you grow together and love and respect each other more with each year! Congrats :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Alyssa! It's very true!! We've been through so much, especially in the first few years of our marriage, it feels so easy and comfortable now!
DeleteCongratulations and good for you for spending time together! My husband and I have managed 1 night away amidst the four kids. My mother-in-law was so bedraggled when we came back we never asked again! That doesn't mean we don't have time together - that's a priority! Wow - a half marathon! I just made a baby blanket using dad's marathon shirts - you could make your husband a blanket if he's collected a lot (and willing to part with them!)
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary!!!!! 10 years!, that is something!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Looks like you had a nice time. He is cute! You make a nice couple. Sometime if you get the chance, visit Bolt Castle. It's beautiful and great for an anniversary trip. I really like the flowers on the crown you made. Did you use iron-on letters?

Less than four months now and our dating anniversary will become our wedding anniversary. Eeep, I wonder what our ten year anniversary will be like... :)
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhhh congratulations Maureen!! It is such a great thing to enjoy each other. He has the face of a very nice, cheerful person...glad you had a good time.

ReplyDeleteHow fun! Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteAwww how sweet! So glad to hear you had a great time! Sewing on holiday dear oh dear! Congratulations to your husband for coming 10th and 2nd =D
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, Maureen! What a fun and wonderful weekend you had, good for you, enjoy! BTW my husband runs too, so our trips usually involve some runs. It's fun to watch them, though, right?
ReplyDeleteLol, what a pair! Sounds like a fab weekend escape though, congrats on your anniversary :o)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to both of you! What a nice couple :)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking... what if you spend a weekend in Miami for your next anniversary? You'll have an awesome time here!!
Thank you Pat! That sounds wonderful to me!! :)
DeleteHappy anniversary. It looks like it was a great one too.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your anniversary and what a wonderful trip. I used to go to Lake George with my family and always enjoyed it - way too many years ago, though. Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos - good looking hubby. too.
ReplyDeleteOh My Gosh you've made me so homesick! My Husband and I lived in Saratoga (he's from Waterford) and spent our Honeymoon in Lake George. Our 28 year anniversary is this Saturday, May 5! Congratulations and I wish you many more happy years together.

ReplyDeletecongratulations on your anniversary! Glad you had a nice time. I live just up the road from the lake! Right near the Great Escape!
ReplyDeleteyou know that it is good match when you can be together enjoying you respective passions!
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys had such a nice weekend away! My hubby wants to run a marathon. It's on his bucket list. It is not, however, on my bucket list. I keep trying to encourage him to train and run one, but he doesn't want to do it himself. Ha! Not really much of a story, is it?
ReplyDeleteaww! happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to spend the weekend! I love that you took some sewing and he didn't mind! Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary - what a beautiful couple you two make! In fact, you look far too young to have been married so long. :-)
ReplyDeleteYup he looks like a pretty good 10-date! So happy for you, especially the growing together part. It's good to see! Happy Anniversary.
