5 years and counting...


How time flies when you are having a fun. Sometimes it seems like we have been married only a few months and other times it seems like 5 years is such a long time. I thought that Becky did a great job with her anniversary post and there isn't a lot for me left to say. We have had some fun times and some really bad times. We have laughed and cried together (even though she told me when we started dating that she never cried). We have held each other tightly and have had to go for drives separately. The last 5 years have been a great compilation of what marriage really is and really should and could be. How great is this life when you find someone that is willing to take you for what you are, yet continues to push you to be a better person without you realizing that is what they are doing? It seems like all we ever do and have ever done is talk. We can talk about anything from politics to music, we truly enjoy each others company. 7 and 1/2 years ago this relationship was started by our in depth discussion of trivial theories and ideals. I bring this up because this is how I fell in love with a tall blond girl from Wendell Idaho. We talked about everything and anything, and just genuinely enjoyed spending time discussing whatever might come up. A lot of friends and relatives thought that we were crazy having huge fights about politics but it was a staple in our relationship. Now after our 5th anniversary, an adoption, 6 moves, two lost jobs and countless tears and laughter we continue to make time just to talk about our theories and ideals. Audrey has no chance of growing up normal.
