It was Libby and I’s anniversary this week and she did a great blog post about us. So this is my response. I have also dug up some old photos of anniversaries and other romantic times (Libby has most of them with her on her computer) so here goes:

This one above is our 10 year anniversary. We went out to Indian at Chingari in the Ramada restaurant in Doha.

Our 11 year anniversary at the Sheraton hotel in Doha. We ate dinner at the restaurant on the beach (I think it was Italian, but I don’t remember the name.

Not an anniversary, but a romantic place nonetheless (even with baby Acacia on your back) Cinque Terra, Italy.

This on is was a school fundraiser. Doesn’t Libby look amazing?!? Tolan was there too 🙂

Ok so this was not super romantic, but it was a fun memory together. This was the Asian Games opening ceremony. Yep, it poured down rain in Doha that night!
