We had a quiet day together with the kids. A little shopping replaced some things that have worn out over ten years. It was a nice day...the kids went to Grammy's restaurant tonight..no kidding, she actually made them a menu...and we went to our preferred restaurant for all occasion, Indian! yum.
We are now living where we got married. One of the things that was important to me about this anniversary was that that we get our wedding cake again, since we are close to the bakery that made it the first time. When i was thinking about this...mind you not too hard...i thought for a brief moment i could get a cake like these above. Get the cake that i would if i had to choose it over again, but then i decided that authentic was better...even if it meant it was maybe slightly out of taste or out dated.
So i went to the cake counter and told the ladies there that i would like to order a very small wedding cake. I did not go totally prepared(went all off of memory), so some of the decoration was missing, but i think it came out pretty close. To celebrate we had a few friends over to share it with us. If you look close you can see the old one in the picture on the counter. Make sure to wave back at Chris!!!
Happy Anniversary Babe!! Here is to 10 more great years!! Love you!!!!!
Happy anniversary to you too babe. I love you more today then ever. It's amazing where we've been in ten short years. I can't wait to see what happens in the next ten and beyond.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 10 years! I hope you have two more kids, six more moves and five more cars! lol just kidding!! What a sweet idea to get the cake, I NEVER would have thought of that!
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet. Thanks for sharing such a great picture into your life.
ReplyDeleteI hope your husband and you have many many happy years to come - a life time of them indeed.

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! What a fun way to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteLeslie: I'm tired keeping up with all your moves and your life! gosh and you had to pack up all the sewing stuff each time too!
ReplyDeleteWhat surprised me was your cake, almost identical to the one for my son which I made but had decorated with yellow flowers instead.
great blog!
That cake turned out quite pretty, but... how did it taste? :)

How sweet. I look forward to getting married so I can celebrate anniversaries. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Leslie! We were 10 years married this past April, so we are pretty close. Now I'm curious how old you are, but that's totally rude to ask, isn't it? I'm 31.
ReplyDeleteI remember sitting at a picnic table on Ft. Rich hearing your wedding story for the first time- I've always loved that your reception was on a boat... very romantic, sweet friend. And wasn't it for your anniversary that I got to be your flower delivery gal one year? Anyways, congratulations! We're nine years this summer and I might steal your cake idea- I love your poetic soul.
ReplyDeleteAwww Leslie. How sweet and what a wonderful idea to recreate the cake!!! No wedding pics though? :(
ReplyDeleteAww; Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteSorry this is a few days late, but Leslie and Chris...Happy anniversary!!! I miss you guys and Mitch and Avery every day. Looking forward to lots more good times to come!

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!
yay! Happy anniversary! It so so darn sweet that Chris left you a comment!!! Champ is a great guy and he even occasionally reads my blog, but there is NO WAY he'd ever leave a comment. Your idea of the cake for your anniversary got my wheels spinning...
ReplyDeleteI missed you! It's good to be back and may I say I am already jealous that you won that sweet Waldorf doll?!
