Eighteen.
18.
Wow.
It's gone by so very fast. I'm grateful to God for those 18 years. I don't know how long Mark is on loan to me from Him but I'm thankful for each and every day that we have together.
This weekend we had a belated anniversary celebration. And I have to say that after 18 years of marriage we just had another "first". He planned a lovely 12 hour mini weekend getaway surprise. It included a visit to our old pastor that we knew when we got engaged. Then we headed to V. Sattui (one of our old dating hangouts)for some wine tasting and a picnic.
Next stop was a couples mud bath treatment here in Calistoga. Yes. A mud bath. And it really was as disgusting as I thought it would be but at the same time very relaxing. It was like being suspended in jello. Or cement. Or...well, mud. We had clay facials and a body wrap. It was all quite relaxing. I'm still shocked that he planned this for me and did it WITH me. My husband is not into spa anything and still he took the mud plunge with me. We ended our evening with a lovely dinner at SolBar in Calistoga.
Needless to say I'm a happy girl today. It wouldn't have mattered if we had hot dogs in the park. Just the fact that he planned the weekend made the whole experience wonderful.
I have to tell you that I just love this guy. He's a keeper.

Wow! 18 years! Congrats!!! That is so awesome. Happy Belated Anniversary! Your mini-getaway sounded so fun...I have never done a mud bath before, but want to try it. You went to one of my favorite places Napa & V.Sattui. Glad you guys got to getaway (and, so cute he planned it all!)
