Gifts

My wedding anniversary is just over three weeks away. I was talking with my husband sometime last week about what kind of gift that he wanted for our 10th wedding anniversary. He said he didn't know. He then asked me the same question and I also didn't know.

I Googled 10th wedding anniversary gifts earlier and found out that the traditional ten year gift was tin or aluminum. According to about.com, "tin and aluminum is a symbol of how a successful marriage needs to be flexible and durable and how it can be bent without being broken." Which I didn't know.

My husband and I both came up with a good idea. We have been using the same baking sheets and cake pans that we received as gifts from our wedding. Those pans and sheets are in rough shape. They have quite a bit of rust on them. Our idea was to replace them. Over the weekend, my husband and I drove to Toledo, Ohio to shop at Bed Bath & Beyond. We bought new cake pans, cookie sheets, spatulas, cheese grater and a plate grill. We bought the plate grill because I've been wanted a panini press for a while.

Its been a wonderful ten years with my husband. Hopefully if our pans rust, we don't wait another ten years to replace them.
