I've been married to this guy for 11 YEARS!!!

The 10 year anniversary is supposed to be the big one, right? Our ten year anniversary didn't really work out that way because 1) We had just moved 2) I had the stomach flu, and 3) Curtis was in Torrence, CA at the PORTIFINO for work, and because of 1, 2, and 3, I spent our anniversary sick, in a strange place called New Jersey. In Curtis' defense, he had recently started his job and needed to be in California at these meetings, and he PROBABLY asked me and I PROBABLY said that it was ok ( I can't remember the conversation, can't even blame it on being pregnant!)

This year we wanted to do something really fun and memorable, but a different memorable than moving or having a baby, or eating raw chicken from Carl's Jr. (That was #5 and there's a story there as well). So we went to Wicked on Broadway and had dinner at a really nice Brazilian Chuhasca (? Help me out honey). We had a fabulous night, Curtis got to practice his Portuguese, and eat lots of meat, and I got to listen to him practice his Portuguese, and eat lots of meat. I love the pan de caju (?) cheese bread, and we had coconut flan which was soo yummy. Wicked was fantastic, I had only heard one of the songs before, but I really liked the music. The set and costumes were so detailed, and the Wicked Witches were great characters, funny and believable, and spoiler alert, the Wicked Witch turns out to be a animal rights activist, not an evil witch!
But even if we had another year of raw chicken or driving across the country, or being pregnant (oh wait, that's REAL) I am still the luckiest girl in the world to have Curtis in my life. He is the best husband a girl could ask for, in so many ways. He is strong and funny and supportive, and works so hard for our family. He loves our kids and wrestles and plays and teaches them important things. I love him soo much!
Happy Anniversary Love!

How sweet! We just celebrated our 11th Anniversary as well. It is hard to have imagined we would be where we are today. It is so awesome having a great husband and kids. I am thrilled for your upcoming little girl. You will have so much fun with her. There is a diffrence, but girls still are really fun. You are especially lucky to have her at the end. When the boys are at school, you will still have a little shopping partner! :)

Congratulations! I can't believe how time flies. I can still remember driving down to your reception with Brandi and Kathy.....doesn't seem like it was that long ago but I guess it was. :)
Sounds like you had a wonderful evening.

I'm glad Wicked was so awesome. We are going the first weekend in December. Happy Anniversary, you guys! Cute pictures!

Hey! I just realize that you could have your baby on my baby's first birthday! She turns one on September 18. Time goes so fast after they come out, but it sure drags when you can't wait to meet them, huh?

11 days Becky!!!! How about you have the baby and then move to Utah?!? Yep,I think thats a great plan.. I'm not gonna lie. I miss you guys :(

Tru dat! We have had some interesting, but memorable anniversaries. During our drive into Manhattan we tried to see if we could remember everyone of them and we could...so even though they all haven't been extravagant...or even remarkable, there was something about each one that we remember with fondness (except maybe me being in LA for #10). Let me just say that a day hasn't gone by over the past 11+ years that I haven't counted the blessing of being married to Beck. I love her with all my heart. Happy Anniversary Sweetheart!
