Happy 5 Year Anniversary to Us!



I wasn't going to blog about this because I'm just not in the mushy mood these days but I figured 5 years from now I would like to look back on this post and see how far we've come. So, yesterday was our 5 year Anniversary! Yay for us! We celebrated by going out to eat at Kanki (per my request). It was a really nice evening out with Brandon. It made me feel so old though because there was a group of about 10 girls across from us celebrating a sweet 16 birthday. Man! They were so annoying. I'm sure I was at that age too.

After Owen turns 1 and I quit nursing we plan to go to the mountains for a week to REALLY celebrate :)!!

Highlights of the last 5 years:

2006-We got married and sealed for time and all eternity in the Raleigh, NC Temple. We lived in a little apartment for 6 months in Washington, NC. We bought our first house in Washington, NC. We fought ALOT, but it was good for us because we were able to hash it all out in the first year and learned to compromise.

2007-I graduated from ECU with a degree in Psychology. I got my first "real" job working as an Employment Specialist for BCDC. We didn't know it yet, but by December of this year we were baking a little Brent in my belly :)

2008- We found out we were pregnant and had Brent in September. I quit my job to stay home with Brent. Brandon got a promotion and we sold our house.

2009- We moved to Rocky Mount.

2010- We welcomed baby Owen into our family.

So, in conclusion...life is good. Life is good because I have a happy, strong marriage, 2 wonderful boys, I know that I have a Heavenly Father and Savior that love me, and loving family and friends. What more could anyone ask for?
