Half a decade

Today is our 5 year wedding anniversary! Half a decade, in August Bobby and I will have dated/ been married for 10 years that is more than 1/3 our lives. Here is a little look down memory lane.

One of my favorite pictures of all times, this was taken at camp travis the summer before we started college. We have no idea who took this picture, it was printed and left on a table at church and a friend found it and gave it to us.

We met in August right before our senior year of high school on a church trip to the lake. Bobby took me out on our first date on Aug. 12th (my dad's birthday) we went to Boston Market and drove around looking for snow cones. I talked Bobby's "ear off" and I have been doing that ever since.

Bobby came across and cool and confident.

Another pink dress! Here we are before prom.

Senior Sunday at church. Then we headed off to Texas Tech together.

Sophomore year of college. After dating for 4 years we got engaged


On September 2nd 2005 Bobby took me to eat dinner at On the Boarder and took me to a park in Lubbock we fed the duck and then he made me a fruit salad for dessert. He then washed my feet, read me a letter and got down on one knee to propose. I then came home to a apartment full of flowers and candy.

I was perfect and I was completely surprised.

Cute picture from our first year of marriage.

On our second anniversary we were packing up to move to Fort Worth at the end of that week.

On our third anniversary I thought I might be pregnant fast forward a week or so and we find out Andrew is on his way.

Our fourth anniversary we went to Jamaica to celebrate.

That brings us to our 5th anniversary. We celebrated on Tuesday (Bobby works tonight). We spent the day around the house enjoying the beautiful weather.

We had a picnic in the front yard. That was the easiest way to get Andrew to eat a good lunch, he really enjoyed our special lunch.
Eating yummy food.
Handsom man.
Andrew tried to climb the fence, too cute.

That night Bobby and I went to Chuy's for dinner and walked around Trinity Park downtown. It was so wonderful to eat dinner just the 2 of us and talk.

Bobby hasn't felt very great, so our grill out that we originally planned on doing for our anniversary is postponed until June. If we are going to spend money on expensive steak we want to make sure we both can enjoy it.

It feels like yesterday we were starting our life together, time goes by to fast. We are loving the adventure and journey. Every year we learn more and more about each other. We have changed a lot in the past 5 years and we are curious what the next 5 years hold for us.
