5 Years!!

David and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary yesterday, April 18th...how fast time flies!! 5 years sounds like such a long time, but really it feels like we were just married! I am so blessed to be married to such an amazing man--I love you David!! We have had lots of adventures and good times together and I know that many, many more are just up ahead. We had the opportunity to go to the temple today, which was so wonderful since it's been a little while since we've been able to go. The whole time I was there, I was so overwhelmed with how many good things I have in my life and how much the Lord has blessed me. I am so thankful for my loving husband, our little family (as well as our extended family), my many friends, for David being in dental school (and almost finished with his first year!!), and so much more I can't even begin to list it! Anyway, below are a couple of pictures from our wedding day...yes, I did have dark hair at one point in my life--crazy I know!


This is a recent picture of David and I on a date night to Niagara Falls...we look so different!! And I didn't think that we had really changed that much in 5 years, but when you compare the pictures, it's kind of crazy. David always tells me how old he is getting and how old he looks in pictures nowadays.
And below is a picture of our cute little family..I know I've posted these pictures before, but I wanted to do a little "then" and "now" type thing. So this is our now, and I can't imagine life any other way. Maia is the joy of our life. David told me today that he loves having a girl and wouldn't mind if all we had was girls (I think it's because Maia give hugs and kisses freely and they just melt your heart!). He said he wants a million more just like her....we'll start with just one more.....maybe.....no I'm totally kidding! Most days Maia makes me want to have more kids, but then there are those occasional days (and you who are parents know exactly what I'm talking about!) where I swear off ever having more kids again. On a more serious note, I love being a mom so much...what an amazing thing to watch a child grow and I'm thankful that I get to stay at home with her--I know that is such a blessing!
