55 more to go...

Friday was a big day...special day...fun day...it was Shawn and I's 5 year wedding anniversary. What an amazing 5 years it has been! If you would have asked me the day we got married what we would be doing on our 5 year anniversary, I NEVER would have gotten it right! What did we do? Well, Shawn took the day off which was a big surprise to me and we spent the day together with the kids and had a blast. We took the kids down to Union Station and went to Science city. It was really cool and the kids had so much fun. Then my parents watched the kids that night while shawn and I went to dinner which was wonderful. After dinner we had a romantic trip to Home Depot and then, yes, Walmart. Now, those of you without kids are probably wrinkling your forehead right now and have a look of confusion on your face. But, those of you WITH kids know how enjoyable going to ANY store with only your spouse is. So, as far as we are concerned we had the best day ever!! I never would have thought that within 5 years of marriage we would have three kids (under the age of three), moved to two different cities and lived in 3 different states, lived with my parents for 6 months, bought a house on the street I grew up on, shawn got a new job, gave our dog away and of course fallen even more in love. My dad's parents have been married for 60 years this year - unbelievable, - that is true love!! It is hard for me to imagine being married for 60 years and to think of everything they have been through - so cool. Well, Shawn, we have 5 down and 55 to go!! I can't wait to see where we'll be in 5 more years!! We both predicted we would be at some sort of sporting event for one of our kids - any other guesses??? And congrats to grandma and grandad on their 60 years - what a role model!!
Hope you are havin' the time of your life!
