In June, Matt and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary (Las Vegas wedding, obviously). Lucky for us, it happened on a Friday, so we could celebrate without rush. Matt came home with a huge bunch of flowers: Asian lilies, calla lilies and gladiolas. Keegan was a little sad he could not celebrate with us, and he really wanted to take a picture of us: this is his best attempt.

After he went to bed, Matt prepared an amazing dinner, as always, and we exchanged our gifts and cards.

The 10th anniversary is traditionally the tin anniversary: how came up with that? I mean, 1o years is a big achievement, so you would expect something stronger and more valuable than tin, especially considering that the 6th is iron. I am excited about next one, though, because is steel, and stainless still is one of my favorite materials.

Anyway, we both had steel boxes: mine contained candies and clothes, and Matt’s contained a mix CD he made for me with all the popular songs of 2002, and a couple of extra ones. (-:  As for gifts, Matt asked for a keyboard/mouse (yes, not very romantic), and I got a beautiful titanium ring (yes, not very spontaneous, since I chose it myself). We have been using the same jewelry store for years, so we now actually get coupons in the mail. That was convenient, and we got a great deal. Matt got the ring engraved for me: what a womnderful gift.

We had a nice dinner and talked and reminisced, helped by the cool 2002 soundtrack Matt created. It was a great trip down memory lane, and I am looking forward to many, many, many more years together. I am very lucky to have found Matt, and could not ask for a better partner.
