Lawrence and I celebrated 11 years of wedded bliss yesterday April 17th. We spent the day as we usually do, hanging out with the kids. Instead of our annual anniversary dinner at Outback Steakhouse, we had a homemade meal. Lawrence cooked steaks and mashed potatoes with a side of boiled crawfish. We started the dinner with a nice salad. We reminisced about our 1st few months of marriage when we were living in Kenner. We did not have a kitchen table and only one tv tray. Lawrence would eat on the tv tray and I would sit on the floor in front of the sofa and eat on the coffee table. We decided we would eat on the floor in front of the sofa and use the kids CARS (the movie) table, since we don't have a coffee table. (Photo below taken by Peyton Bonvillain.)
We decided this was our best anniversary dinner! This will definitely be our "new" tradition. Plus, we decided no matter what we do, we will take our picture so we can reminisce on our past anniversaries.
I am so thankful that the Lord placed Lawrence in my life. He was truly heaven sent when I needed him most.
We have been blessed with 3 beautiful, healthy children and wonderful families. I have no idea what the future holds for us and our family, but I can't wait to continue the journey with my husband.
I love you Lawrence.
Love, Stefanie
