Our big day started with a splash-literally. We went for the morning run (Meg has been running with me for over a month) in the pouring rain. I'm still not sure if Meg liked it—she looked thoroughly soaked at the end. That always makes the hot shower so much sweeter afterward.
We were caught once before by a spring shower, but that was at the end of the run and we laughed it off. This time was the first time when she consciously ran into the rain. If the weather didn't stop her, especially on our anniversary, I think she's on the path to becoming a serious runner.
I am a weirdo, I know, talking about running in pissing rain on our anniversary, and describing it with such a joy! But, we DID mark the decade of coexisting in the same wedlock (why does the word 'wedlock' sound so ominous? Almost as if it was borrowed from a horror dictionary). We brunched at our new favorite dim sum place, then ended up spending the afternoon in downtown's entertainment district. We stayed there for a dinner in the French restaurant called Le Saint Tropez. The waiter was an older guy with such an exaggerated French accent that I couldn't make up my mind if he's faking it. Still, he was amusing, and so was the atmosphere and the sangria. Only when we came back home, after the nightcap glass of red, did the scenes from the past ten years start marching through my head. Though it seems the decade sneaked by us in half the time, we've been through a lot. We progressed in our jobs, became Canadians, settled down in a house of our own. The best of all is--we still enjoy each other's company the same as we did 10 years ago.
In days to come, we will be updating this blog with pictures from the places we visited on vacations and travels throughout the past 10 years.
