Happy Tuesday!! Today on the blog, Grant and I are celebrating our ten year anniversary! {A month later.} 10 Questions for 10 years! No, I can’t believe it’s been ten years, but at the same time it seems like we’ve known each other forever.
How We Celebrated
That afternoon, I came home and found 10 dozen roses throughout the house. He is so thoughtful!! 🌹We took a few photos in Grand Haven!
and an evening in Grand Rapids where we ate dinner here and only snapped this pic😂

Mel:
I had no clue. I knew I was excited to be married and spend even more time with G, but much past that I had no plans. Ok I thought I didn’t, until we moved to Cali.
I guess, live in Fort Wayne and start my own design business there!
Grant:
Definitely living in Fort Wayne, a kid, and MBA completed.

When I leave unzipped suitcases in the trunk for him to unload💋 #yourewelcome

When someone leaves a door open long enough to let a fly in!

8. What is your most memorable date?
