Wedded Bliss x 5 years! (written 4/30)

April 25th, Andrew and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary!

It's hard to believe it has already been 5 years, but it's also hard to believe we've only been married that long- it seems like forever, in a good great way.  I feel like scenes from our life belong in a chick-flick and that no one could possibly love their spouse more than we love each other. It's great!

Even though we have a lot of love to celebrate, we don't have a lot of money to celebrate with.  We used a gift card to go to Chili's Friday, our actual anniversary.  The kids were so needy and whiny that we didn't even enjoy it, so Saturday our friends took the kids for a couple of hours and Andrew and I used another gift card for Olive Garden.  I probably liked the food better at Chili's, but I definitely enjoyed the food and the experience better day 2, sans kids.  I love them and they are probably the biggest part of our 5 years together, but sheesh.  They certainly made the evening less than romantic :)

I was thinking about all that we've done the past 5 years, and it has been quite the ride together.

5 fun-filled years
4 apartments (including a long-term hotel for an internship a couple summer's ago)
3 degrees (a BS for me and a BS and MS for Andrew- only 1 1/2 more years and he'll have a Ph.D too, wahoo!)
2 darling children and
1 beautiful life together with so much love

I'm the luckiest.  Seriously.  The absolute luckiest!
