2005: We celebrated our 7 years anniversary in our old apartment.

2006: We celebrated our 8 years anniversary in our garden and Sølve proposed. He had built this bench a few days earlier and carved a heart on it. I sat on this bench, in beautiful evening sunlight, when he popped the question. You already know my answer ;-)

2007: We celebrated our 9 years anniversary at home with cheese and rosé.

2008: We celebrated our 10 years anniversary at home with Champagne, snacks, roses and diamonds (to wear for our wedding day August 9 the same year).

2009: Caption written on Flickr: How to celebrate 11 years of love. Shopping at the garden center, spend the whole day working in the garden in the bright, warm sun, champagne and dinner al fresco with candles. Bliss!

2010: We celebrated our 12 years anniversary with tulips from the garden and dinner with my sister (who stayed with us for a month doing research for her master thesis).

2011: We celebrated our 13 years anniversary with dinner out followed by sunset and dessert at home.

2010: We are looking after our friend Jakob's dog Hama for a few days. We love her!

By chance I discovered that I did a post exactly like this last year too - but mostly with different photos. Ha!

2005: The day we moved from this apartment to the one we live in now. Photos taken by my friend Espen.

2006: Sølve and I hosted dinner for family and friends the night before our youngest niece's baptism. We started with these nibblies; tortillas with cream cheese, rocket and smoked salmon.

2007: I was in Moscow for work.

2008: Caption written on Flickr: After a good day at the office I walked home, made pasta salad (whole gain pasta, roast chicken, salami, red onion, sweet peas, cherry tomatoes and pesto) and hosted the film club's third meet up. We saw La Dolce Vita (chosen by me).

2009: I didn't take any photos on the 30th, so this photo of Sølve's stripes are from the 29th. We love Entourage btw. How about you?

2010: Supper with a view at Hanne's.
