10 Years and Counting

On the 26th we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary.  With a nursing baby, our options were pretty limited so we decided to spend a few hours at the chocolate spa in Hershey, PA.  A few hours before we left I managed to not only burn my hand, but I sliced into two fingers as well.  My left hand was pretty much out of commission, which made getting ready to leave a bit challenging. We spent three wonderful hours at the spa and then I text the babysitter to let her know we were on our way home.  She text back to tell us Bud got off his leash.  Through several more texts we found out she put his leash on wrong so when he ran after a critter his ID broke off.  He had been gone for an hour.  At that point it was to late to call the pounds so we spent all night wondering if we would ever get our dog back.  I was surprised at how upset I became.  Bud is part of our family now and I hated not knowing where he was, if he was safe or if I would ever see him again.  I spent the night in front of the back door in case he came back.  The next morning I called the main offices for our apartment complex.  Someone had found Bud wondering around and had reported it to the offices the night before.  I was so happy to have my buddy back.  


So even though our celebration didn't quite turn out like we thought it would, I'm still very grateful to have had 10 wonderful years with Chris and I can't wait to see what the next 10 bring.
