10 Incredible Years!!!

Friday, Jerimae and I celebrated our 10th anniversary. Ten years.....I really can't believe it's been 10 years. Being married is the longest thing I have ever done. (I've never been in one job for 10 years or lived in the same house for 10 years, or even lived in the same town for 10 years) Actually, I wouldn't mind living in the same town and house for 10 years, but I'm not sure that will ever happen living with Jerimae.

Ten years ago, we got married in Indy and headed to Gatlinburg for our honeymoon. After the honeymoon, we returned to Fishers to a small apartment to start our lives together. A year later, we moved to an old farm house in Fishers where we stayed for a little over 3 years and had our first child, Kaleb. Then we moved to a newer house in Fishers and had our second child, Zarek. We stayed there for about 2 years. Then we purchased our first home in Westfield. There we lived only 2 years and had our third child, Maeci. Finally that brings us where we are today...South Bend. We've been here for almost 1 1/2 yrs. We will be moving again I'm sure (we're just in a rental house right now). We were living in a different house when each one of our children were born. I will have to say that I'm a little tired of moving. I'm ready for the next house, to be it!! But like I said earlier, it may never happen as long as I'm with Jerimae...type A personality...big plans...changing all the time...but I do love it. Being married to Jerimae has never been boring. I look forward to seeing what the Lord has in store for us in the future.

So for our 10th anniversary, we got to go away for the night. Before we left we exchanged gifts. He got me a MP3 player that I've been wanting for awhile and downloaded a bunch of music that we both love. For him, I made an abstract painting of the waterfall where he proposed to me (Burrells Fords, SC). This was the first painting I've ever done. I tried to find an abstract painting, but I couldn't find one I liked. So I decided that I would try to paint one myself. I've wanted to paint something for a long time now. I had so much fun doing it. I've found something new I like to do now. (I'll post a picture of it soon)

We stayed at this beautiful Inn tucked away into the woods in Michgan City. The name of the place is Creekwood Inn.



Attached to it is an incredible restaurant called Kelly's Table. The food was spectacular. After dinner we went to Washington Park to walk along the beach, relax and get connected again. Jerimae had surprised me with the video of our wedding downloaded onto his laptop. (I was wondering why he brought the laptop) It was so much fun reminiscing. Saturday we had breakfast at Kelly's Table, went shopping at the Outlet Shops and grabbed some lunch before we headed back home. It was great finally spending some time with Jerimae. I was reminded of how much fun we have together. I've truly been blessed with the best husband that is so patient with me and loves me unconditionally. I LOVE YOU J!!!!
