Happy Anniversary Round 2...

This last weekend it was Jeff's turn to surprise me for our ten year wedding anniversary. He didn't give me any details, just to be ready by 3 and that we were staying somewhere overnight. When we got in the car we started driving down towards the wineries and I figured out that we were staying at the Willow's Lodge. I always wanted to stay here so I was pretty happy. Then he told me that we were going to be eating at the HerbFarm restaurant for dinner which I was extremely excited about since it is a nine course wine paired meal. He also threw in a spa appointment in the morning and everyone knows I love the spa.

When we arrived at the restaurant they give a garden walk before dinner so we decided to go and check out the wine cellar before it started. On the way back to the cellar we ran into our friend Kristin and then the rest of our friends. I was so shocked that we were all going to be eating dinner together in one of their private rooms and it was fantastic. Lot's of fun and good laughs were had by all and Jeff then went and surprised me with a anniversary band. The night could not have been any more perfect and we had such a fabulous time. Here's to the first ten years and many more years of happiness to come. I love you Jeff!!

A new gate...

We have lived in our house for almost ten years and the day we moved into our house I always wanted to replace our front gate to our backyard. Our old one had been rotting for the past several years and each year it became harder and harder to open it. After my dad had done a bunch of work on his house, including many fences I asked for his help since Jeff and I had no clue where to begin. We also had one of our first nice days of the summer so we lucked out with the weather. Thankfully my dad agreed to help us out and did most of the work since we were busy trying to wrangle Ethan so we owe him a HUGE THANKS.

I tried to capture the process while it was happening. Check it out below...
