Happy Anniversary

Today Justin and I are celebrating our 5 year anniversary. We are currently in Portland, Oregon on a trip that I feel like we have been planning/waiting for since we got back from our honeymoon, haha. I am sure I will have lots to post about next week. I absolutely loved our wedding day and love our wedding photos. I love going back and looking through them each year. 5 years and 2 kids later and I think we are doing pretty awesome. The fact that we committed to taking this trip and making it happen is a big deal in itself. Thankfully my mom is helping and staying at our house and shuttling our kids around. We have some pretty awesome family that has been willing to help out so we could take this trip. To be honest with you, looking back I didn't how good of a choice I was making 5 years ago. As each year passed and our family grew I have gotten to know Justin more and more. I am pretty lucky to have found such a great husband and father. We have now been together for over 8 years and it seriously feels like it has flown by. Crazy! So glad to be sharing my life with my best friend.

Happy Anniversary!

Today is my 4th wedding anniversary. I am so lucky to be married to such an amazing man. He is a great father and I couldn't ask for anything better for our girls. He is an even better husband and I can't wait to celebrate with him this weekend. When I think back about the time before we got married I can't recall ever questioning if it was the right decision to marry Justin. It always felt like the right thing and seemed like the next step in our lives together. We knew before we even got married that we would try to have kids right away and were blessed to have Everly before we even celebrated our first anniversary. Now with Aspen things are definitely a little more busy but I am glad to go through this stage with Justin. We knew having kids would not be easy but I think we are doing pretty good. We don't hate each other and I think we are both on the same page most of the time. Sure, it would be nice to have more time by ourselves and do some of the things we used to (like seeing Dave Matthews Band 9 times in one year) but we have some pretty cute kids so we are happy to spend our time with them right now while they still like us (I am already scared of the teenager years). Next year we plan to take a little trip for our 5-year anniversary and I am already excited about it! Happy Anniversary Justin!

The moment he signed his life away...just kidding...but not really. 

One of my faves.

Justin hates his smile (???) and rarely smiles for the camera so I love this one.
