Five Years Later

Happy Anniversary to Us! 

Seriously, where did five years go? I know everyone always says things like that, but --- not kidding --- time needs to slow the heck down.

This guy. Marrying him has to be up there with the best decisions I've ever made (to say the least). It wasn't even really so much a decision as just a natural progression. I knew from very early on that we'd always be together. It's such a blessing to have found love and partnership so early in life and to be so happy together.

 

Our wedding was beautiful (I mean, there were things I'd go back and do differently, but that's the event planner in me --- the most important thing from Day One was to get married), but it was only the start of a beautiful life together.

I feel like we've already had some early tests. Heck, we had some tests before ever getting close to the altar. Not to make it sound like we've had a soap opera of a marriage --- not even close. But have we already proven that we're in it for better or worse -- I think so. Are we at all "where" I thought we'd be by this age and time in life? Oh gosh no (I found a high school scrapbook a while back where I'd answered "What do you think you'll be doing in 10 years?" with something to the effect of "Working at an ad agency, remodeling a house and chasing at least 3 children."). Is there anyone I'd rather have by my side during this adventure called life? Absolutely not.

 

 

What makes this life and love story complete is our family. We couldn't have been more blessed with people to love and support us in so many ways. Along with individuals who have life experience to put ours to shame, we have some of the best examples of committed marriages I have ever known. I am constantly inspired by the displays of love and devotion that I witness from the people in our lives. My hope is that our humble efforts show and remind you how much you are loved and how much we appreciate your impact in our lives.

 

 



So Happy Anniversary, my love. Life doesn't always follow the path we think it will, but by following our hearts we will always have love; laughter and each other. I choose you and I choose love, every single day for the rest of our lives.

 

 

 

 

Wishing you as much love and laughter as I have been blessed to cherish,
