5 years

This weekend Bj and I celebrated our five year anniversary! I really can’t believe it’s been that long since that fabulous day!

And us now (an iPhone shot of course!):

It’s not always the easiest thing, but certainly worth all the hard work we put into it, this marriage thing. We were able to celebrate by going to Portland for the night. Bj got us tickets to Wicked (it was great), we had a nice long dinner at Marrakesh (a favorite!), full nights sleep in a hotel (even though I forgot my pillow), and the next day we got to do a little shopping (fabric!). I love being able to talk with Bj when we’re alone in the car (or dinner, or anywhere) together. It seems like we could just talk for hours, and I love that. So lucky to have my wonderful husband! I really can’t believe we’ll be a family of four soon(ish)!
