This is a Happy Belated Anniversary post. {Our 8th wedding anniversary was on the 7th of this month.} An anniversary I'm certain we will never ever forget. xo {2004} I can't help but feel we're living a storybook kind of romance. One without end. He would do anything for me and I him. He's gentle with my heart and I his. He still opens my car door and in return I reach over and open his.

Did you realize 2000 was 10 years ago? Time is like paper in the wind T he weekend is almost here and I haven't written a thing about last weekend. Ryan took me away to Asheville, North Carolina and  it was the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary Our calm before the storm We stayed in a B&B and we're slightly heavier due to the delicious breakfasts (I know what you're thinking Mom, "Good, you could use a few pounds") And that's what we did, we ate A LOT We drank some We finished our thoughts Spoke in complete sentences  We went to a rock climbing gym (and I'm still sore) We walked and talked and dreamed together Like I said, it was perfect. Thank you Ry Guy (A Bed of Roses is the B&B we stayed at.  I highly recommend it) Asheville reminded us of a combination of Boulder,Co and Portland, ME A great vibe Ryan apologized for combining my anniversary gift and Mother's Day gift.
