Five Years

Today, Jimmy and I have been married for five years.


On May 25, 2008, I walked down the aisle to Songbird. 

  

We walked back up, husband and wife, to All I Want is You.

We danced to Baby's Got Sauce, and Angel. 

We hand picked our music, expressing our excitement, our joy, our love though song. Hoping those in attendance (and paying attention) could feel how we felt. 

Five years later; two children, a couple vacations, a few cars, the same home, less money, more years behind us. They haven't been easy, but there's not much I would change - especially knowing that we were gifted with our two precious daughters in the process.

And while Jimmy and I may not be spending the day together (he had to work... such is the life of a chef on a Saturday night), on the off chance that he's reading this (*ahem*), I want him to know that I love him more today than five years ago. Sometimes it goes unsaid, and is hidden beneath the stress and exhaustion of daily life, but it is there. He has been my best friend for eleven years, we've grown up together, and I cannot imagine my life without him in it. 

I might toast myself tonight, but we'll make up for it when we can. Happy Anniversary, my love.
