5 Years!

I can't believe it was 5 years ago today that Ryan and I tied the knot! We have had a fun and crazy 5 years together, which is probably why it flew by so fast. Here is a quick recap, in the past 5 years we have...
-moved 5 times
-lived in 3 different states
-had 4 kids!! (can't forget that one)
-been to 10 different temples
-gotten 3 different college degrees (and paid off 3 different student loans)
-visited 25 different states
-paid off 3 cars
-bought 1 house (still paying for that one)
We're hoping the next 5 years will be a little less eventful...but knowing us that's probably not too likely. We always try to do something cool for our anniversary and stay somewhere over night but since it's pretty much impossible for me to leave my babies for more than a few hours, we decided we'd just go out to dinner. Neither of us have ever been to reunion tower, so that's just where we chose to celebrate. In case you're not from Dallas, it's the big sparkly ball in the Dallas skyline with a revolving restaurant that gives you a complete 360 degree view of the city over dinner. I knew the view would be amazing and it was...
...but I wasn't too sure how the food would be. The restaurant is a Wolfgang Puck 5 star called Five Sixty. We weren't sure if this was one of those places where the food is beautiful but tiny and you leave hungry - not our style. But I am happy to say that the food did not disappoint, it was as amazing as the view and we left the restaurant STUFFED!
Ryan surprised me the morning of our big night out with a pretty new necklace to wear, so thoughtful. Then, when he got home from work, he brought in a box with matching earrings - I was so surprised - I didn't expect him to go all out. Then, as I was getting ready, I noticed another little box on my nightstand with a matching bracelet inside! What a good husband, I guess he has learned a thing or two over the years!!

I got Ryan a new watch as a wedding present, but it broke only a few months later (Fossil watches are overrated I tell you). So I surprised him on our anniversary with a new watch and a note saying 'If we can just make it through TIME, I'm pretty sure ALL ETERNITY will be no problem'! 5 years down, forever to go...
