5 years and counting!

Our Honeymoon

(look at the long, blonde hair!!)

It is once again time for celebration! Mark and I will have been married 5 years on June 29th. So, yes, I'm a little early and blogging about it, but I figured I had some time while the kids napped. I really lucked out when finding Mark. I know that it wasn't "me" who found him, but I do know that I feel so blessed to have him as my life long partner. That sounds really cheesy and I know when Mark reads this he is going to make fun of me, but I think it is important to share how much this man means to me. These past 5 years have flown by. I cannot believe what all we have gone through together in such a short period of time. We moved 3 times, bought 3 houses, remodeled 3 houses, had 2 kids, 2 dogs and a partridge in a pear tree. Ha! ha! Really though, I can't imagine having gone through any of these experiences without him. We've had a lot of fun and alot of struggles, but in the end we've remained best friends. I want our kids to see us as fun parents that enjoy being together and doing things together. I want them to know and to see that their parents are in love. I want us to be the best examples to them in how a marriage should be and that God should be the center of it all. We're learning more and more about each other and ourselves in this process called life, but I know that my life has been enhanced beyond measure by getting to spend it with Mark. I love you!

(Forgot to add this note earlier about the song that is playing; this is the song I sang for Mark when we got married, this isn't me singing, but the one from the original artist. I just think music adds alot to a story and this one really touched my heart! I love it!! How could I ask for more??)
