My husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary in February. To celebrate we decided to take an extended weekend to the Gulf Coast. I love being near bodies of water. Biloxi was a perfect choice for us plus its in driving distance (I hate flying). So we both took a few days off work and hit the road. I think that people underestimate the beauty and enjoyment of a nice car ride anymore. Mississippi is only a 6 hour drive. Car rides give you time to reflect, to meditate. There is something about scenery going by, about breathing different air. In light of it being a milestone anniversary I took advantage of this time. The most beautiful thing about being married is being able to be quiet sometimes. There is a certain security that comes with marriage and you don’t have to ALWAYS be talking…but I won’t get into all that. I will say that I never thought in a million years that I would have what I have with my husband. His unconditional love inspires me to be a better person. I am happy to say that after 10 years of being his wife, I still get tingles when he refers to me as such. I love him.

| Our 1st Date February 1990 |
When I met him I wasn’t in a very good place. Our love affair in the 90’s didnt last very long. We broke up 🙁 Time & circumstances came between us back then….but it was a good thing, because we weren’t ready! I always loved him though. 10 years later he looks me up. I was single & so was he… We played Intro’s version of Stevie Wonder’s “Ribbon In the Sky” at our wedding.
