5 years ago...

Today we are celebrating our 5 year anniversary. Wow! This post is dedicated to my sweetheart and the 5 year journey we've had...

Our wedding day. I know everyone says their wedding day was the best day of their life - I agree. We had such a great day: the weather was perfect. The ceremony was fantastic. The dinner/reception was so fun and it was awesome to celebrate with family and friends.

Since then we've traveled...

to Spain (for our 1 year anniversary)

Washington DC (our good friend Mike worked at the White House at the time and we had a fabulous trip because of him and his connections. We toured the West Wing, sat in the Presidential Box and watched the National Symphony Orchestra and went to every cool place there is in DC.)

Havasupai (which is now our yearly family trip and we love it!)

Hawaii

and Mexico. Thanks Josh for working so hard so that we can have so much fun!

Josh has run the Marine Corps Mud Run twice (yes he ran in a kilt!)

I've run 4 marathons...

Josh got accepted to Grad School! He will be done in April - wahoo!

We had 2 kids...

Rease in June of 2007

Rhen in March of 2009.

They are our pride and joy and we don't know what we did without them! Our life is better with our kids in it. (I asked Josh today what his favorite memory is from the past 5 years. He said that his favorite thing happens everyday - when Rease runs to him when he gets home from work and Rhen can't stop smiling at him because he's home. He really does love our girls! What a dad!)

and most of all - we've made it this far and still love each other!

Thanks to Josh I am a happy woman! Here's to the past 5 years and to the next 100 years we have together!
