Five Wonderful Years

Today Skip and I celebrate our five year wedding anniversary.  FIVE YEARS!!!  I cannot believe.  I honestly can't believe it has been that long.  It feels like just yesterday.  What's the saying?  Time flies when you're having fun!

We were just babies when we got married, I was 22 and Skip 23.  We had known each other for less than two years.  He had been home from Iraq for only a few months, and I had just graduated from college two months prior.  But we were in love.  Deep, passionate, real, forever love.  I honestly did not think I could love him more than at the moment I said "I do".

But the crazy thing is, I love him so much more now than I did July 29, 2005!!  Every day I find another reason to fall in love with Skip.  He is my husband, my love, the father of my child, my best friend.  There is no one else in the world I love more.  My favorite thing is just hanging out with him.  He brings out the best in me, and I hope I do the same with him.  He takes care of me, of our family.  He is better than any man I could have ever dreamed of.

Happy fifth anniversary Skip.  Here's to the next 75 years!

And now for some picture overload of our wedding!
