Kyle and I celebrated five years of marriage yesterday!
I took out the photo albums and had so much fun looking through the pictures, I completely ran out of time to post them. So, here they are--a day late--but here.
Our FIRST DATE EVER. The Snow Ball 2001 freshman year of college. A tiny bit awkward, but there was a dance and lots of friend, which made it overall a pretty good date.
The Spring Fling 2002. I had the freshman 15. Kyle still looks like a baby--or a middle schooler.
We were good friends before we started dating, which made it that much more fun when we DID start dating.
Spring Fling 2003.
I include this photo because Kyle look SO ADORABLE in this picture. Can't you SEE why I fell for him?
No folks. This is not photoshopped. I lifted him. In
heels.
Engaged! Kyle made me dinner and had a huge spread in his room at home. (That golf course in the background is his wallpaper.) This was a re-creation. Kyle isn't a big fan of the whole re-creation-picture-thing but I sort of like it.
We were hiking in Colorado when my family visited my sister. The weather was gorgeous on the way up the mountain but we got drenched on the way down.
I didn't hunt. He tried. I asked too many questions. I think I was too loud and scared away all the wildlife.
On of our engagement photo. Kyle's dad took them. He should really get into photography more. He's good at it.
Married! December 18, 2004.
Off to honeymoon to Sedona, AZ!!
Despite a rocky start--forgot hotel info, forgot flight info, 3 out of 4 plane delays, and a nosebleed...
...we had a LOT of fun. We made a trip to the Grand Canyon.
and hung out around Sedona.
College graduation. The old marrieds.
Our first Christmas photo ever. Awwww.
We moved out on our own. We knew practically no one...
....but it just helped us become better friends and hang out with each other. We did weird things like never turn the heat on all throughout winter.
Then we got pregnant and things began to change. We put the heat on in winter and such.
And wake up at night. And loose sleep. But through my hormonal imbalance Kyle stuck with me and we managed to raise up a really ridiculously cute boy.
We were now a team. Trying to survive parenthood. Kyle made it look easy.
And then we moved to Beverly Hills and lived on a Yacht. The End.
Ha. Actually I got pregnant again and our family would grow to four.
More hormonal imbalance. More fun. More chaos before crazy newborn chaos.
Five weeks before he was supposed to show up, Isaiah made his entrance and tested our ability to survive again. He was in the NICU for 10 days.
30 minutes after we finally brought him home Kyle's dad called and told us he probably had cancer.
It was a immense mix of emotions but bonded us in a huge way.
A few weeks later we found out the cancer wasn't cancer at all and could be fixed with a simple surgery.
Life with two is crazy. I had a really hard time trying to find a picture with both of us in it. Kyle and Caleb are by the lake.
Hey look! We're together.
And another one! Er. I think that's us.
Weddings are always a great place to find a family picture. Someone get married soon so we can have another family picture.
Taken on December 18, 2009. Boys are in bed. Ahhh. The good life.
Happy Anniversary My Love. You are my best friend and you've made marriage really easy on me. I'm having a LOT of fun.
I was thinking about naming this one "Booger" but that really isn't very poetic or polite or whatever so it's a no-namer. (But seriously, this boy is a champion at producing gigantic boogers.)
