10 years!!












We had the most incredible weekend away.. It was our 10 year anniversary and my sweet husband planned a little trip for us.. About 2 hours away.. we stayed at a place called Nemacolin.  There are a few different hotels there and he picked the one called Falling Rock.. inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright.  Check in was not until 4 so we first toured Lloyd's masterpiece called Falling Water.. so amazing.. I don't have pics because they are on Peter's phone but will post when I figure out how to upload them.. It was hot and at the end of the tour we were told we had just climbed 110 steps.. but it was well worth it..

We then checked in to our hotel.. so wonderful.. Friday night at 6 we read our vows to each other.. had some champagne.. we both cried because we are so happy together.  Peter got down on his knee and asked me to marry him all over again.. and gave me the most beautiful necklace.. sapphire and diamond because he said those are what to give on the 10th anniversary.. also said it's like infinity and how we will always be together..

I set up a little shrine on the nightstand.. our vows that Peter had made into a plaque, our wedding flutes that belonged to his Mother, our guest book, ring boxes and a picture of us.. we had the best time.. Saturday, I went to the spa.. had a massage and pedicure.. Peter toured the area.. saw a white lion and was actually able to play with her.. outside the fence of course.  We then had dinner in our room served by our butler!!  Yes a butler.. he came back later and drew a bath for us.. we could pick the scent we wanted and he lit candles and spread rose petals all around.. very sweet..

Next day we had breakfast in our room and then had to check out.. Never did make it to the pool since it was raining on Saturday.. but that's ok.. I think we will go again..
