5th Year Anniversary

Today we are celebrating 5 years of marriage! It has been a wonderful five years and each year has brought a new challenge & adventure. Thomas and I started dating when we were 16, so we've been together over 10 years. It is amazing to look back and seen how much we have grown over those years. The best part about it, is growing together. When you look at people like my grandparents, who were married for 50 years, 5 years seems like nothing. Just like the last 10 years have flown I know 50 will too and I want to cherish every year!

Here are some photos of us over the years:

OUR WEDDING DAY

This was one of my favorite days ever! We had such a beautiful wedding surrounded by wonderful family and friends. Everyday I am truly grateful to have married one of the kindest, humblest, funniest, handsomest man ever! I am lucky to have married my best friend. 

MARRIED YEARS

For our anniversary we got Uncle RyRy to babysit and we went out to dinner. Thomas got me roses which was a big surprise! We came home to put Riley to bed and then watched a movie in bed. Riley had a great time with her uncle, they went to the playground & to get ice cream (hopefully Riley didn't have ice cream!) and we had a wonderful talking without interruptions!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

RILEY WITH UNCLE RYRY

I LEAVE YOU WITH SOME LYRICS FROM A VERY WISE MAN:

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad 

Carry you around when your arthritis is bad 

All I wanna do is grow old with you. 

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches 

build you a fire if the furnace breaks 

Oh it could be so nice, growin old with you. 

I'll miss you, kiss you, give you my coat when you are cold. 

Need you, feed you, I'll even let you hold the remote control. 

So let me do the dishes in the kitchen sink 

Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink. 

Oh I could be the man to grow old with you. 

I wanna grow old with you.
