9 Years

 On April 14th we celebrated our nine year wedding anniversary by finally finishing our bedroom.  We went shopping for art work, shelves and decorations.  I made the arrangements, Ryan mounted the television and hung the shelves. We went fabric shopping and I made the closet curtins.  The project was Ryan's idea, which made it extra fun, and he actually picked out  a lot of the pieces.  It was really nice doing it together, because in the end we both felt like the space was totally ours, and exactly what we wanted.  It is calm yet vibrant, just wonderful. 

For dinner we went to Kings Estate.  We got to get dressed up, which is rare for where we live, so I was very excited about that.  We dropped Jackson off at Emily's on the way, and when we got to the winery there was no one in the parking lot.  However it was pouring rain, the middle of the week, and it is in the middle of nowhere.  We were totally wierded out at first, but as the night wore on it became better and better.  It was really amazing having the entire place just catering you you.  It was a gorgeous setting, we didn't have to feel overdressed, and it was quiet enough to hear the conversation.  By the end of it we were very comfortable and felt like celebrities who had rented the whole winery out for us to have dinner.  It was amazing.
