10 years ago this month, a very handsome, buzz-cut wearing sailor and his friend came knocking at our front door during a girls weekend dance party. How very brave of them to see a group of girls having a blast, and think, “we should go meet them”. Well, I’m certainly glad they did. Sparks flew immediately….ok, sparks flew after I sobered up and we re-met the following day. These are minor details.
Even though he deployed for 6 months in June of that year, and I said to him after a month of casual dating, “I hope you don’t think I’m going to wait for you or anything”, and even though my Dad specifically said, “stay away from sailors” when I left to move to California, we somehow managed to work it out, and here we are a decade later.
Hubs, I love you. I’m so happy the universe brought us together. Cheers to the next ten years! May they be as eventful as the last.

Love the pictures, and I also like how y’all have the spices on shelves right next to the table. That makes great sense. Instead of having to get up and go to the pantry, you just reach over, and Schzamm!, you have the right flavor or condiment! Good thinking. I’m from Texas, so maybe this is a regular thing in California???
