We had a wonderful 10 year anniversary!! We spent the day Friday going through some neat antique shops in Ventura and went to the Busy Bee Cafe for lunch. We checked in to our Summerland hotel Inn on the Summer Hill a cute little bed and breakfast before you hit Santa Barbara. We stayed here on our honeymoon for the first two nights and we always said on our 10th we’ll go stay in the same room! Such fun! So we did! Lovely breakfast brought to us, snacks at 3 pm and even cider waiting for us in our room! For our anniversary night we went to the CLIFF HOUSE for dinner. It was wonderful! We had a neat view of their pool and the ocean while we ate. It was sooo quiet and romantic too!

Brian surprised me for our 10th with this beautiful white gold heart friendship ring! Since we are BEST FRIENDS 🙂 I love it 🙂 We got to try another good restaurant too Los Arroyos in Monticeto Ca. It was yummy. We walked State Street and did a little shopping. Made us both thankful for our cute small town of Fillmore though!
It was a really relaxing trip and I’m so thankful for my sweet husband Brian! His love and passion for God is amazing. He’s the most wonderful man, husband, and father and I feel so blessed to have him! I’m sure the next TEN will be EVEN better! 🙂 Love you babe!

Brian enjoyed with the Amtrak would go by across the way from our hotel.
We also did our ANNIVERSARY TALK again this year. Second time now (Thanks Jenny for the idea last year). It’s a great way to get a little deeper with our relationship and really learn about each other, our marriage, where we want to go, where we’ve been etc.. I loved our talk!!
-What have you learned this past year about the other person?
-What have you learned about our marriage this past year?
-What things do you feel the other person needs to work on/improve and/or change in their life?
-What goals do you think we need to set for our marriage and our family looking forward to this new year?
