Back then we merged our families together into a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom, no garage house. My two cats with your two dogs. We separated household duties, with you taking care of the outside and me taking care of the inside, splitting the cooking (and cooking together when possible). While we did not like the same TV shows, we loved to brew beer together, and often times found ourselves drinking a bottle of wine and talking for hours.
Now we have an amazing family of four, us and our two beautiful daughters. We traded in the Norwalk house for a slightly bigger house (with more bathrooms) in Waukee (closer to our friends). We even have a third stall in the garage for you to work on your bikes. Our household duties still stand, although they seem to have grown with the corner lot and extra little kid clothes. When we watch TV together (and this is rare), we are watching a Disney movie with the girls. We still enjoy brewing beer together, and can still talk for hours over a bottle of wine with the music playing in the background. We love our family time with the girls, and sitting down for dinner at the table each night is a tradition I hope we continue through the years.
We have faced obsticles through the years (a little water in the basement, the house on fire), but there is no one I would have rather gone through them with than you. We worked hard to get where we are, and I cherish our life together every day. I still feel like the luckiest girl on the planet, even five years later. God has looked out for us and has blessed us with each other, our girls and our life together.
Thanks for a wonderful five years.
to the moon and back...
