Party of 5

Friday is our five year anniversary. Rather than get a sitter and leave the kids at home, we're going to go out as a family. It seems odd, maybe, to celebrate the romance and love of our marriage with the girls at our side, but it makes sense to us. Why wouldn't we bring the fruits of our love everywhere we go? We're so incredibly proud of what has come out of our vows. Two (three!) bright, clean souls who carry this amazing image of our love with them in all that they do.
Our marriage has grown and strengthened in leaps and bounds, and we're learning so much. With each pregnancy and baby, the outward signs of our passion, love and devotion multiply. We learn new lessons and find new joys as we introduce them to our life. I can honestly say that I'd always rather have them nearby - what joy they bring, 100% of the time.
So yes. We'll be heading out on a date, our party of 5. There is truly nothing more encouraging to our marriage than laughing together across the tops of their cute little heads.
Happy Five Years, indeed. Happier by the minute, if you ask me!
