10 year anniversary -Cont'd

I'm back from a lovely time celebrating our 10th anniversary! I wanted to do something special for our 10th so, we planned an overnight stay at pretty swanky hotel here in town. Although I was a bit nervous to leave our son that long since we hadn't before it went pretty well with my sis watching them. Since we didn't have a lot of time to eat we ate at a nearby Chinese buffet-It was ok-Not the best or anything. After about 10mins the sky went from sunny to dark and cloudy and then pouring down rain. Which we got caught in going to the hotel. But once we got there it was really nice!

We had a great view from our 10th floor room(See below) It was nice to have some kid-free time we even took advantage of the spa at the hotel and got massages-etc.

They even had a nice pool/sun deck area we used for just a little while-(See pics):

And this morning before we checked out we ate from their great breakfast buffet. And even listened to the piano that was being played while we ate-Awesome!!

All in all-We has a very enjoyable time; A wonderful way to spend our 10th wedding anniversary!! And even though after reading the back of our fortune's with chinese sayings that said... My husband's:Not Married ; Mine:Boyfriend -I don't think we'll need to learn those sayings ;)

10 Year Anniversary!

In just a couple of days my husband and I will be celebrating our 10th wedding annivesary!!

10 years -A decade!

I'm glad through all the ups and downs

Our love has stayed -And I hope it will for many,many years to come. ♥ ♥ ♥

Marriage: Do you know why the wedding ring is worn on the left;fourth finger?

There is a beautiful & convincing explanation given by the Chinese:

Thumb represents your parents

Second (Index) finger represents your siblings

Middle finger represents your self

Fourth (Ring) finger represents your life partner

Last (Little) finger represents your children

First, open your palms (face to face), bend the middle fingers and hold them together - back to back.........Second, open and hold the remaining three fingers and the thumb - tip to tip (as shown in the figure below):

Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents)...., they will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later. Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings)...., they will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their own separate lives.
Now join the Index fingers and separate your Little fingers (representing your children)...., they will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.
Finally, join your Little fingers, and try to separate your Ring fingers (representing your spouse). You will be surprised to see that you just CANNOT....., because Husband & Wife have to remain together all their lives - through thick and thin!! -Try it out!
