Five Years Fly...

Dave and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary recently. It is truly amazing how those years have flown by. With each year, our love has grown deeper.

Then...

Some facts, events, or experiences we've had together these past 5 years:

  • Traveled to places such as: Florida, California, Brazil, New York, Pennsilvania, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and many Utah sites (our favorite being Lake Powell).
  • Dave graduated with his B.A. in Medical Biology. I graduated with a B.A. in Dance Performance and a Minor in Nutrition.
  • I taught modern and social dance our first 3 and 1/2 years of marriage... I also worked at my mother's amazing store, Secret Haven (free advertisement for ya, mom!).
  • Dave worked with his Uncles constuction company, until I (playfully) tackled him in the snow and injured him, leaving him unable to do such work.
  • Dave worked as a Teller for a Wells Fargo Bank in SLC (after the snow incident).
  • We moved to Illinois, almost two years ago, for Dave to attend Medical school. When done (2 years left, plus 3 years of residency) he'll be a podiatrist.
  • We had our first child, beautiful Susie, in 2006.
  • Our second child (also beautiful!), Lennon, joined us this past November.
  • Along with great additions, we have had some great losses. We lost my dear brother, Aaron, over a year ago. Dave's sweet father, Robert, also past last April. We have also lost my Grandmother Tora and Dave's Grandfather Travest.
  • We have learned that life happens fast...

Now...

Truly, truly... Forever, not a day less will do.
