5 Years

On Friday, Keeper and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. Time has flown by! It seems like just yesterday we were living in New Jersey I was stressed out over wedding planning. The past 5 years have been full of ups and downs and new adventures. My parents used to tell me as I struggled throughout college with unhealthy "relationships" (if you can call them that) that when you meet the right person, a) you'll know it's right and b) they will make you a better person then when you're by yourself. Both of these things ring loud and true with Keeper.

I am very impressed with the fine folks who write greeting cards these days. I seem to be able to find the "perfect" card and don't have to write anything extra except my name. Keep up the good writing, greeting card people.

Some exerts from the anniversary cards we got each other...

From me to Keeper....

"...everyday, I find a better reason to be thankful for having you in my life...you're always my constant... my best friend, my true love, my perfect companion.."

From Keeper to me....

"...Someday, many years from now, we'll look back on this crazy time in our life together and wonder how we did it all...I'll sit close beside you, you'll take my hand in yours and say: I'd do it all over again...and I wouldn't change a thing..."

I am so happy with us. Who would've thought a drunken make-out in a dirty fraternity bar-room could turn into something so wonderful?
