5 Years!!

On March 12 Brandon and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary! I can't believe it has been 5 years, not because they have dragged by, but because I feel like we are newly weds! Recently my brother and Lauren asked us to speak at their wedding (March 6th) and give a marriage blessing. In preparing it became a great opportunity to talk about what makes our marriage so wonderful. We decided to read 'The 10 Commandments of Our Family' that Brandon bought for me for our 1st anniversary. It was a reminder to us to keep the Lord first in our marriage. We have had a lot of ups and downs in the past five years, from buying a house, Brandon having job changes, having Eli, celebrating the birth of our nieces and nephews, celebrating many family weddings, to my mom fighting cancer, losing Micah, my dad getting sick, Brandon's mom having a cancer scare, and all the other crazy but wonderful things our families have going on!!


For our anniversary Brandon and I went to eat at Eddie Vs, a great restaurant in Fort Worth, then spent the night at the Worthington Hotel in down town.
It was a great night of fun, laughs, and sleep!! Yes, sleep. We slept in until 10:00 then had a nice breakfast at the Worthington. It was nice to eat a dinner and sleep without worrying about Eli.
I asked Brandon what he wanted to do after dinner, hoping he would want to go back to the Worthington and hang out (read and watch TV), but wanted to be open to a movie or walking around down town since we don't do that much. He wanted to go back, I new there was a reason to marry him!!
