ALERT!! LONG POST AHEAD...it is well worth the read!
On January 8th Spencer and I celebrated our 10th anniversary! As far as I knew we were going to go to dinner...so, I was looking a little worn out after a LONG day with my great kids. We went to Brio at the new mall here (its one of my favorites). As we are eating dinner Spencer tells me he need to use the little boys room, (not unusual for him). A few minutes after he returns, the manager comes back and gives me a dozen beautiful roses and a folder. I was quite shocked by the roses alone, but I was FLOORED as I opened the folder and found that Spencer had planned a southern carribean cruise for us leaving in TWO WEEKS!! I was a bit panicked beacuse as a mother of 5 I know full well you cant just up and leave without extensive planning. Then Spencer goes on to tell me he has all the kids worked out! (my friends can keep one heck of a secret!!). As I am busy flipping through the brochure..I catch him getting out of the booth and walking over to me. He then proceeds to get on ONE KNEE!!! I was a little embarrased I have to admit! He then tells me how much he loves me and hopes the next 10 years will be just as good. He THEN hands me a black box! It had the most beautiful ring in it. The ring consists of 5 diamonds (to represent 5 kids) with each of their birthstones in between and his birthstone on the end to even it out! I must say I was very suprised and feel very lucky to have such a great man in my life. I love him so much for the amazing husband and father that he is.

What a fun surprise! Aren't husbands the greatest? Congradulations on TEN years!
Okay, I seriously got all choked up reading that and you already told me the story! Spencer really is such a great guy. Tell him I'm so proud of him for taking such good care of you and still being so romantic and thoughtful after ten years. I am impressed!
