5 Years

On April 30th, 2010 Jeremy and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. I don't know how it has been 5 years all ready. I just keep thinking we are still newlyweds. I guess that is not true anymore. I can't say I loved every minute. There have been a few times in the last 5 years that have been sad, hard, and just not fun, but I don't think I would change them. These times have been just as important in our marriage as the happy, fun and joyful times. We are learning to trust in the Lord, grown together, and have been really blessed to have the good times out number the hard times. All in all isn't that what everyone wants out of there marriage.

We had a fun over night trip to Bear Lake for our anniversary. Ethan got to have a sleep over with Grandma and Grandpa Avery, and Tami and Kyle. We were told he had lots of fun feeding cows, hanging out with Kyle while everyone else went to promanode, going to Tami's softball game, etc.

We went to Bear Lake on our honeymoon, so we thought we would go back. On our honeymoon we did a lot of outdoor things, but this time it was snowing and way to cold. We stopped at Hooper Park in Soda Springs just like on our honeymoon, but did not have a picnic lunch. In bear lake we mostly just relaxed, got pizza and ice cream, went to the movies, and the museum. On our way home we stopped in Soda Spring and went bowling. Then before picking up Ethan we had lunch at the River walk Thai Restaurant in Lava.

We enjoyed getting to spend some time just the two of use. Although we were happy to see Ethan again.

This is a photo of us on our trip at Hooper Park in Soda.

Happy 5 year anniversary! It does go by fast, doesn't it? I agree with you- marriage isn't perfect, and there are hard times, but those times are important in helping you grow together.

Congrats on making it five years! Our five year mark is coming up as well and it has gone by so fast. It is a tough road, but I think it gets so much better after 3 years. I'm happy you got to get away for your anniversary. :)
