Matthew and I have been married five years today. I love to look at our wedding album and remember the day. I had a great time and I wish I could do it over again. I wouldn't change a thing (well, maybe the stressful morning due to rain) about the day.

In our early months of marriage, for some reason we decided that five years was a big milestone for us to reach. Now that it's here, it seems like such a short period of time. We had big plans to go on a 5 year anniversary trip. We didn't really have anywhere specific in mind, we just knew that we wanted to go somewhere to celebrate. That trip is not happening. I could never have known that on our 5 year anniversary I'd be 31 weeks pregnant with twins and the mother of a beautiful two year old. No trip could come close to comparing to what's really happening!


Also, during those early months, we decided that after five years of marriage we'd be ready to start a family. I think back to those conversations and have to laugh, because life is not what I had imagined or planned - it is better. It makes me think of Ephesians 3:20 "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us"



Happy Anniversary, Matthew! I am so thankful for our life together. I can't wait to see what the next five years bring to us. Who knows, maybe we'll get to go on a 10 year anniversary trip!
