Today is our 5th anniversary. I am told by the internets and gods of consumerism that this means it is the year of wood. Take from that what you may.
This is what 5 years have taught me:
-E is a good match for me. It is really hard for both of us to be completely irrational at the same time. That is balance.
-A wise woman once said: "Choosing to be married is as important as choosing who to be in that marriage with." Agreed.
-Just when you think you have figured it out, you make a stupid mistake. I thought this would stop after a few years but I have come to terms with the fact that it never will. I guess that is why they make you do those vow thingies.
-When Uncle Dave acts as the officiant for other weddings, I feel like they are stealing our good idea.
-My wedding was beautiful. I just want to do it over so I can be skinnier, have a chance to taste the food and have the people there who are such a huge part of my life now but didn't know 5 years ago.
-I am dumb. I still haven't really printed any photos from the wedding. Maybe this will be the year. Probably not.
-5 years has done good things for E. That being said, he is much more of a boy than I thought he was when we got married. How exactly did he keep that hidden?
-Going to other people's weddings is the best couples counseling you can get. That and Buddy. He is good therapy too.
-It will never stop cracking me up that we had candy bubbles on our cake. It was awesome.
-Every morning I wake up amazed E has stayed and really grateful for our CalKing bed. Cozy but wide.
-I am incredibly grateful that I am not dating anymore. What a mess that is.
-I am certain we made the right decision.
Happy Woody Anniversary, E
