Our tenth anniversary of being ENGAGED!

September 15, 2001
Ben picked me up. Took me to Olive Garden. We shared the Tour of Italy. Ben did not eat his half. If you know him, you know this is in no way normal.
Drove back to our little town. Went into the church. Ben got down on one knee, at the altar, and proposed. I said yes, and the rest is history! I love that man so much.

This is the skirt I wore the night we got engaged in the picture, and this picture was taken today. I surprised Ben by wearing it on our lunch date. It doesn’t fit as well as it did 10 years ago, but by golly I’ve gestated 3 babies over 10 lbs each! And. I. got. in. it. 🙂

    You definitely have the right to be bragging about fitting into a dress from 10 years ago! Impressive 🙂 Where did you go for lunch? I couldn’t recognize the setting…Taco Milagro? Congratulations to one of my favorite couples!

    Thanks Kim. We love y’all too. 🙂
    It was at Brownstone Cafe. We only found it because of a Groupon- and it was great!
