On Saturday, we celebrated 5 years of marriage! That's right 5 years! :) It is strange to think that it has only been 5 years when it feels like 20 according to Bobby! I guess the truth is that it's been 5 years of marriage but we have been "together" for over 9 years. Looking back over the years, a lot has changed or happened to us. Our marriage has not always been an easy road as we would have hoped, but instead has been more like a roller coaster ride that fortunately God has been in control of the whole time. We have had fights, we've made up, we've gone on trips, we've stayed home, we've rented our house, we bought our house, we've gotten jobs, we've changed jobs, we've experienced deaths and we've been blessed with births...through it all though we can honestly look back and say that we love each other even more today than we did the day before. All of the adventures have done nothing but bring us closer and make us smarter in our marriage. We feel so blessed to look back over everything and know we've come this far! Even though our anniversary was filled with quality family time (and a 3 year old's birthday party), we still plan to get plenty of "us" time in the future and we know that our love is the strong bond that holds our family together. So we cherish the memories but look forward to the experiences that are ahead of us in the next 5 years...

Love and Marriage

it makes me so happy that you two are so happy! it doesn't seem like 9 years ago that you called me to tell me that you had met some guy who had a marvin tattoo...that seems like yesterday....which means i guess your wedding day would feel like this morning! :)
i'm so excited that you two have such a blessed love, blessed by families, friends, but especially by GOD! but you may not realize how much your love for each other has blessed me! i admire the love the two of you have for each other, your family, and for the lord. to simply put it....
:) you two make me happy!
Awww... that made me cry! Seriously, so sweet-- and I'm sure it has nothing to do with my prego horomones! :) Avery said he is so glad you spent your anniversary night at his party! We are too!
