Happy Anniversary to us!

Chris and I just celebrated our 9th anniversary! It so wierd to think that we've been together that long. Time has flown by and we looked back on our 9 years with wonder and laughter over what we've experienced, done, and learned about each other.

We had the opportunity to stay at a house in Pismo Beach for two nights. It was such a treat to have two whole days to ourselves. Chris had it in his head that this would be an 'active' retreat for us. After having learned in my women's bible study that it is very important for men to be able to 'play' with thier wives...I was all for it! We did so much, we played golf, tennis, hiked, and took long walks to the beach. It was so wonderful to talk (uninterupted) and dream together; something we never feel able to do. Chris was so wonderful, making a conserted effort to focus on us and the present moment, instead of every deadline he had the following week, and all the calls he had to make.

On our way home on Sunday we scheduled a tour of Hearst Castle. I had never been there and it had been 20 years since Chris has visited. What a treat! A beautiful castle, and a definite must see if any of you visit the coast. We are already planning our next tour.

Happy Anniversary! I can still remember nine years ago when we were there for your wedding. What a treat that was. I'm so glad you were able to celebrate!
