And this:
And then there was this:
It's an elephant. There was also a bunny and seal on other nights.
Happy 10th Anniversary to us! Yay, we made it! Ready to head into the next ten*. Wahoo.
To celebrate, we took a cruise up to St. John, New Brunswick. We had two "fun days at sea" and a day in port. We read and talked and walked and ate and laughed and remembered so many of the reasons we chose to get married and so many of the reasons we plan to keep at it. It was lovely and relaxing and even funny (sometimes...if we told a joke or had interesting lunch-mates.)
I highly recommend cruising. Good times and no seasickness. (For someone who often complained of car-sickness, this is saying a lot.) We had lovely dinner companions each night and otherwise kept to our own plans and loved all the minutes of it.
It turns out I love having someone clean my room and then come back six-hours later for turn-down service. I love having someone make my food everyday and someone else to deliver it to my table and someone else to take it away. Other things it turns out that I love: foggy afternoons to read on the balcony while listening to the water or the fog-horn, holding hands with Justin all the day long, having people bring me diet cokes whenever I felt like it, and being able to call for a late-night snack if, perchance, I was feeling a tad munchy. Who knew?
Then to come home and find that Grace still loves us...well...it doesn't get any better.
*If I choose the decade milestone to mark time, well, it only seems appropriate for a cruise to follow. Right guys? Guys??
