Happy 5 Year Anniversary

Well Friday was a big day for us. 1) We celebrated 5 years of married bliss! 2) It was my Grandmother's birthday--and Thursday was my mom's birthday 3) I started back to work 4) my mom's house flooded! 5) Our Honda --2007 barely driven Honda--didn't start 6)I found out I have to go overnight on business in April and either take or leave my baby for one night. However crazy our little life is--I still thinks it's more beautiful to live in this chaos than to be bored wishing something new would happen to us ;). My mom came in last week to help prepare me to go back to work--and to watch Jae with my sisters Friday night so Dan and I could have a long date night. However at around 5:30 or so we found out that Mom's house was flooding --mom and Jill took off to Paris--Dan came home to hear the news. I told him we weren't going on a date---just then my grandparents walked in and discovered their stay would be short considering all that was happening. We all decided to go in to help mom around 8pm--then had to turn around realizing taking an 11 week old baby to help wouldn't be an option. So Dan turned around --dropped us off--and he and Jami headed to Paris to help salvage what they could. I spent a fun filled evening with my precious baby--and we celebrated my 5 year wedding anniversary. OH did I mention Dan gave me the sweetest card/letter and beautiful flowers! We had decided to get new couches and for go individual gifts this year. Anyway--I heard the door opening at 4am and Dan was home from the adventure. So we were able to celebrate our anniversary on Saturday--THANK YOU JILL!!! We had planned on going to SundaySchool/Church/and a Young Marrieds Lunch meeting today--however--Dan allowed me to sleep after I woke at 7:30 to feed Jae. So next weekend we will try all of this again. And to top it all--we woke up to SNOW?? What on earth is Spring doing producing SNOW???!!


ENJOY these random pictures from that past 5 years of marriage! We have had fun!!!

  2. I'm so tickled to see that you posted again - it's been awhile but I know you guys have a crazy busy life too. We're praying for your return to work to continue to go smooth, that it falls into a routine. Sorry to hear about your Mom's house and that your anniversary plans went nuts. Can't wait to see you three in just about a week and check out that beautiful baby for ourselves. Love you guys!

  4. Thanks Tara!

    Bev--I know it's been awhile since I posted--but I am going to start doing more! ;) Yes--My mom's house was worse than we thought it would be---but it might be a blessing in disguise! And Jae can't wait for her Grandparents to move here to play with her! She is super fun right now--so alert and funny--she laughs at Dan everynight--sooo sweet!

    Leslie-Dan wasn't too happy that I posted the Goth picture--Ha! And I too think it's scarey! And yes that's Dan's fish--it was a whopper!

  5. What sweet pics! Congrats on 5 years- it really flies by doesn't it? I'm keeping you guys and your "crazy" life in my prayers! My MIL always tells me "Just remember in the craziness, you only have one thing that you have to check off your list each day - Taking care of the beautiful baby!" I always remember this when life gets crazy cause it's so true. It doesn't matter if you get the house cleaned or laundry done or the errands run, Jae will never know!

  7. Dan told me Jae loves to hear 'Itsy Bitsy Spider' and 'Little Bunny Foo-Foo' - we're in luck, I know both of them and can't wait to rock her and sing away!
