My sweet, sweet husband planned a trip for me last week. He told me it was a business trip and that we'd stay a few extra days to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. Our anniversary isn't until September, but my mom (aka babysitter) is off during the summer, so we take advantage of that time. Anyway, I thought we were going to Savannah, GA. I didn't have any other clues, until a day or two before. He told me we were flying and that I'd need my passport. So, we got up early on Friday morning and left by 4:30am. When we got to the airport, I saw that our flight was to Miami. We went through security and grabbed breakfast. Once we got to the gate, Josh showed me the boarding pass for the next flight. Our destination was Freeport. It took me a few minutes and then I asked, "Are we going to the Bahamas?" I got a smile in response and couldn't believe it! I'd never dreamed he would do something so extravagant while keeping it a surprise! You must now, that this same man proposed to me within 2 hours of buying my engagement ring because he was so excited. Regardless, it was the best surprise ever and we spent 8 days in the Bahamas. It was so relaxing and refreshing. The Bahamas are beautiful. We just laid on the beach, swam in the pool and went snorkeling. We had such a great time and really needed the break. I've never been away from Damari more than a night or 2 at the most and that has only been a handful of times. Damari had such a great time with his Nonna and he's only a little spoiled now. :)
Here is Damari after playing hard with Nonna. He fell asleep in the swing, holding zucchini muffins.
All in all, I can't believe that we've been married 10 years (almost). Lately we have truly been able to fulfill our dreams. We have 27 acres now and the sweetest, most adorable son ever! God has truly blessed us in more ways than I can count. I hope that we have 50 more years together and more children and dozens of grandchildren and great grandchildren. My hope is that when we are old, we are still as much in love then as we are now. I also pray that we leave a legacy of love, generosity and respect to all those that encounter us!
Josh, I love you so much, thanks for being my best friend and sharing life with me!!
