Five Years Ago....

Well, I am on a role!  I guess in this season of life, blogging is not something I do frequently.  I have tons of ideas to share and things floating around in my head but sitting down to the computer for fun is not always what I want to do.  I spend many hours a day online working.....so my downtime is often spent doing something other than starring at the screen!  Today, I had a few minutes and wanted to share a milestone in our marriage.

Yesterday was our fifth wedding anniversary.  It is hard to believe that we have been married for half of a decade.  He loves to tease that his life has been so hard as a married man but I know the truth!  Five years ago he officially acquired a maid and cook which is something he enjoys more than not.  I enjoy having a constant support system, a handy man, and someone to call me at work in the middle of the night to make sure I am still awake.  Thanks, Bubby!!

I am ashamed to say I was quite cranky on our special day :(  Working third shift on the weekends plus trying to stay up all day to do things at home and spend precious time with my hubby is hard for me.  It was the second annual family yard sale and I was trying desperately to hold true to my promise to help.  I did....sort of....by spending part of the day sleeping in Justin's truck.  Oh well!  We were blessed to be treated to dinner by Justin's parents.

One thing that I think is so neat about our relationship is our history.  We go back, way back, almost to birth.  We have memories from childhood of each other and that is so special to me!

How about this one?  I used to hate this Polaroid!  Now it is a cherished memory.  Justin loves to point out that I have my legs wrapped around him.  Can I point out that he doesn't seem to be protesting!  Here's to five years of history, plus many more past and future.
