This post is one day premature, but Erika's napping and I have time today to do it!
Five years ago on September 27, Matt and I joined our lives together. And it has been a true blessing ever since! We are happier and more in love today than we were five years ago, which is really what marriage is all about, I think!
September 27, 2003, one of the greatest days of my life. Really, the greatest weekend of my life! It started on Friday night with Matt's parents hosting a wonderful barbecue at the camp where our wedding was held for the attendants and family. Everyone was in such a great mood, and it helped that we had presents for people! Saturday, the sun was shining and it was very warm for late September in the northwest. It was perfect! We had our family and friends to help us celebrate. God was looking down on us and blessing our future together. It was amazing.
A few more numbers that signify our five years together:
-We have owned 15 different vehicles
-We have lived in 6 different dwellings
-We have owned 2 homes
-We have 1 beautiful daughter
-We have 1 beautiful baby-to-be
-We have made numerous trips to visit family and friends over the years
-We are blessed with a loving church family from 4 different congregations in 3 states
God has truly blessed our lives. I love Matt more and more each day and know he feels the same way. We are best friends and couldn't imagine spending our lives any other way. We pray for many more happy, healthy, fun years. We are excited that after 5 years, we now live close to both of our families. God is good!

On a less serious note: Why can't we have anniversary bridal showers? They don't have to be big. I think that milestones, such as lasting five years with the same person, should be celebrated! Plus, after 5 years, my sheets are looking a little worse for wear and I could really use a better blender!

Congrats on 5 years! Jim and I hit that mark in May and it was like "WOW 5 YEARS!" And I agree about anniversary showers! Every 5 or 10 years we all need new towels!
Happy Anniversary! It's so exciting to look back on all that you've shared, and the time just FLIES (especially once children join the mix!) I wish you many more years of adventures and shenanigans. :)
Happy belated anniversary! Your 5 years of marriage have definitely been eventful...15 different vehicles, seriously?? That has to be some sort of record!
Happy Anniversary! And many, many more of happiness.
