5 years and counting...


Today happens to be our 5 year anniversary. I really can't believe it. It flew by SO fast. I don't have any of our wedding pics on our computer, so I took some random ones from throughout the year. Whenever I used to ask people how long they have been married, 5 years always seemed like a good milestone. It's crazy to think we're there.

I started this App on my phone for one of my New Year resolutions. It's a gratitude journal, everyday I type in 5 things that I'm grateful for.(thanks to an apostles suggestion in a talk) Adam is on the list everyday, for something great he has done in the day. He really is amazing. I feel so grateful each day for all that he is willing to do for our little family. He is so patient, kind, loving, and selfless. He makes me want to be a better person every time I'm around him. I'm a stresser and a worry wort, and he keeps me sane. He is an amazing listener, and always gives me great advice. I'm so grateful he is such a great provider. I love that as a couple we can set goals for our family, and work together to achieve them. I'm so grateful he is worthy to hold the priesthood, and i've seen how it has blessed our home. He is always wanting to help out, and make sure everyone is happy. He is an AMAZING father. Gabe still squeals in delight when he comes home. She won't leave his side until she has to go to bed. She loves every minute she gets with him. She asks to call him at least once a day, cause she misses him. She's such a Daddy's girl, can't say I blame her.

As a couple we have grown so much over these five years. Our love and respect for each other has grown each day. We still get excited to spend any time together that we can. I'm so grateful for the gospel in our lives, and Jesus Christ that enables us to return to our Father in Heaven, and live with our families for all eternity. I love you so much Ad! Happy 5 years!

Congrats on the BIG 5! What a great tribute to your man. He is a lucky guy to have you and Gabe in his life as well. I love that Gabe is a daddy's girl. It's adorable to see that. Here is to many more anniversaries- may that be as fun and as memorable as the first 5!
