Five Years

Five years ago today David and I got married ... it really was such a great day ...

Last night we sat outside after the kids went to bed reminiscing about our wedding weekend ... the flat tire I got while picking Kris and Heather up at the hotel while David was off golfing ... the huge thunderstorm on our wedding morning and my awesome bridesmaids went and got David and I breakfast ... the killer suite we got to stay in ... the fact that the minister forgot to say, "you may now kiss the bride." so as he was announcing us married I stopped him and said, "Do I get to kiss him now?" ... how the photo in this post was taken in pitch blackness and we both felt so weird posing for photos when we couldn't see anything at all ...

So first thing this morning we put in our wedding DVD ... we hadn't watched it since the day after the wedding ... and it was awesome to see ... and it was great watching it with Skye ... she kept calling me a princess ... and asking where she was ... and she couldn't believe how little Ellie was ...

And seeing all of our honeymoon footage ... our cruise was awesome ... just made me think that we need to find some way to take a cruise ... it was so good for both of us ... and it would be so good for the whole family ...

It has been an amazing 5 years of marriage ... highs and lows ... ups and downs ... unwavering love and unmitigated anger ... but at the end of each day I couldn't be happier about laying down next to him ... and so hopeful each morning about starting the new day with him ... with my family ...

I'm so glad we picked the 4th of July for our wedding day ... it is one of my favorite days of the year for 2 reasons now ...
