10 Year Anniversary

I looked up on the computer this morning what the traditional gifts are for a 10 year wedding anniversary. It turns out that it is tin or aluminum.
I don't know about you...but the thought of getting aluminum for our anniversary just makes me laugh. What says I love you, more than some foil. The gift would be two fold...a reminder of all of your wonderful years together AND as an added bonus you could make a nice dinner as well.I also found in my research that the new modern 10 year anniversary gift is diamonds!
I am not delusional enough to think that I will receive a gift of such magnitude this year but really can't there be some middle ground between tin and diamonds?

At any rate...gift or no gift 10 years later I find myself still married to a wonderful man that I learn to love more about each year and he has already given me 4 precious little diamonds that I love more than any ring or necklace in the world!

Happy Anniversary! The picture is so cute! Personally, I don't think you have changed, now Charlie on the other hand has aged a bit, gracefully, I might add :) Hope you have a special evening with tin foil take home boxes :)
