Yesterday was our 5 yr anniversary. I can't believe it has even been that long, because I feel like I just graduated from Highschool. I wasn't going to blog about this but after what happened last night I couldn't help it. So I'm on the Enrichment committee in my ward and we had and activity last night of course. It was way fun and I went because I knew we were going to go out tonight to celebrate. Shaun worked on wedding stuff anyways. So I get home at 9:00 which was a first and Shaun was finishing up his work. I hear Ryker still awake in his bed. So of course Shaun and I wanted to spend sometime together but Ryker keep getting out of bed etc. Shaun and I always watch our wedding video on our anniversary, so I go to pull it out and Ryker is asking what we are going to watch. We told him we got married 5 years ago and it was a video of that day. We started to watch and Ryker loved it, when I came out of the temple in my wedding dress he yells, "mom you are a princess". Then we hear Amelia waking up. I usually wake her up at 11:00 to feed her but she just knew she was missing out so I went and go her out of bed and feed her as we all watched our video. As I was holding my sweet baby girl and watching Ryker make cute faces during the video. Shaun and I looked at each other and can't believe how blessed we are 5 years later. I normally don't like when people get on their blog and make everything seem perfect, don't get me wrong has it been work, yes. Would I trade it for anything, no!! Marriage is hard work, raising children is hard work but we know the wonderful rewards that come from it. Ok this is way to long and if you are even still reading this, thanks =)
July 17th, 2003 (yes we were crazy to get married in the summer)
Newlyweds. This was 6 months later. We both worked full time and went to school in the evenings. We saw each other on the weekends. Seriously.

I totally got tears in my eyes! How sweet...and hard...and wonderful all at the same time. Lainey loves to watch our wedding video, and every time she sees our engagement picture she says, "Ohh. Cuuute!" Kids can spoil a lot of couple moments, but most of the time it's great to have them tag along.
Thank goodness for Shaun and his amazing wedding videos...what would we do without him! I love your wedding pics. You look so young and in love, not like your not now but you know what i mean!
Happy Anniversary! A whole 5 years! Your making me feel old now!! We just got back from UT yesterday, and for sure I'll post my crafts, I have some finishing touches on a few before though. We had so much fun.

Happy Anniversary!! Doesn't time just fly?! I still remember your reception and luncheon, and bringing my little baby Hunter with me!! You made a GORGEOUS bride, I have always thought so!
