The Big 0-5

Elvis and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary on Saturday.  It was a nice weekend and we had a lovely time together reminiscing about our beautiful wedding day, and our five blissful years of marriage.  We even had a rare night of babylessness, as my parents were only-too-delighted to take Henry for the night You could say we squandered it, since we opted NOT to dress up for the fancy restaurant, but instead enjoyed some delicious fried seafood and frozen drinks.  But it was a wonderful evening with my very best friend and soul mate, and it was exactly the anniversary celebration we wanted.  And on top of all that, we got to sleep in til 10 the next morning!  Woo hoo!

In all seriousness, it was crazy to look back at our lives and see how far we've come.  You could say we came from different worlds, and a lot of people had their doubts about the two of us together.  But I'm proud to say that what we have together is The Real Thing.  It's not always a bowl of cherries, but there's nobody I'd rather have by my side through this adventure.  And now, to have added this amazing child to our harmonious home has made life that much sweeter.  I have loved every second of our marriage, and I could not be more excited for whatever the future holds.

The best part of the weekend, to me, was the review of all the fun we've had together.  So, here are a few of my favorite memories with my beloved.



One of our first photos together.  We'd been dating about 2 months.  I love this pic, and Elvis HATES it.




Every inch the blissful newlyweds





We had a blast in Philadelphia for our 2nd anniversary.  It was a perfect vacation!



We have been to 4 Major League Baseball parks together.

We had just found out I was pregnant a few weeks before, and Elvis couldn't resist pointing out where his baby was growing.  He was spectacular during my pregnancy.



The very first picture of the three of us.  That is the face of a man in love with his family.



5 years of wedding bliss!  I love this man more every day!
