I cannot believe it has been 5 years since we were married! We were talking about the events of the big day and remembering how smooth everything went. Our sealing was at 9:40 am (the good time) and Ryan will forever give me a hard time about that....if he had his choice it would have been in the afternoon. I was having fun looking at pictures and couldn't choose just one to post. We look so young in the pictures and so do our family members. It is crazy to think that we have known each other for 7 years - 2 years of dating and 5 years of marriage.
Fun/Random facts from the past 5 years....
*We have lived in Utah and North Carolina and I guess you could count Colorado since we were there for 3 months this summer
*Driven across the country twice together (I drove back to NC without Ryan while he finished up his internship)
*Been on many trips together-too many to count
*Had one child whom we adore
*Ryan has been to Colorado, Washington State, New York, Pennsylvania, Zion National Park, Canada, London, Paris and Spain without me

*States visited - California, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Island, Delaware

It has been a five years with its ups and downs. Sounds a lot like all of life! Sure glad that you all are doing so well, though.
