Happy Anniversary

Last night, Matt and I went to stay at the Doubletree Hotel in Little Rock for our 11th anniversary. (Many thanks to Mom for staying over & keeping the kiddos!) We had a great time. This hotel used to be the Camelot, and that seems like a more appropriate name for it, since we felt like a king & queen. We stayed in the executive suite on the 14th floor. When we got in the elevator, the guy in there asked us what floor. When we asked him to press 14, he said "Wow!" I felt very special! We even had to use our key card in the elevator, just to access our floor.

Our room was beautiful. We had a king-size bed with a cool headboard. There was a walk-in shower in the bathroom, along with combed terry towels, jumbo robes, and Neutrogena bath products. The television was a 42" swivel flat screen. Sweet! We even had a private balcony with a view of the Arkansas River. It was beautiful.

There was a private lounge on the 14th floor, where we enjoyed free hors d'oerves, and happy hour prices on wine & beer. We each had a Heineken for only $1.50 each. Not bad! The woman working in the lounge, Linda, was wonderful. She took our picture for us, and even sent some food back to our room for us. The pictures of her are when she was packing up the food for us. What a sweetheart!

After we left the lounge, we watched Dream Girls on HBO while enjoying room service. I ordered a sandwich, and Matt had the New York strip steak. We had shrimp cocktail for an appetizer, bread pudding for dessert, and 2 mini bottles of champagne. Delicious!!

After a wonderful night's sleep on the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever found, we had a leisurely morning hanging out in the room, followed by a breakfast buffet downstairs. We got back home, totally happy & relaxed, at 11:30 this morning.

Wow! I can't believe we've been married for 11 years. We've definitely had our highs and lows, but I can honestly say that I love my husband now more than ever. And I can't wait for the next 10, 20, 30, 40+ years with this man. He is my dream come true. I love you, sweetheart. Thank you so very much for the most wonderful anniversary ever!
