Of how they fly!

This week we celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary. Crazy to think about the last five years, where they have gone, what we have done... so here is a wrap up counting down...

Dec 1st 2002- I am working, flying around somewhere. Dating an average guy with an exceptional family. Thinking this might be great, I adore his family... him... well, jets just say it's good that all ended!

Dec 1st 2003- Doug and I are just "hanging out." He is moving to Toronto to work on a film and I am thinking, "Well, that's good, now I don't have to let him down because CLEARLY, he is not the man of my dreams!"

Dec 1st 2004-We spend the day at the Salt Lake Temple tying the knot, in the most frigid weather possible. The ceremony is PERFECT. The pictures, etc after... well, let's skip that. Yet, three days later, our reception is PERFECT!

Dec 1st 2005-We are living in our new home in Lehi, I am 3 months pregnant with our first little bumpkin, Toria. We spend the weekend in a lodge outside of Heber-lovely place.

Dec 1st 2006-Still in Lehi( we love it!) Anniversary at our "honeymoon inn." We enjoy our first holiday with our baby girl, and lots of family who come to visit.

Dec 1st 2007-I am 6 months pregnant with Baby #2, Rome. We take a very difficult trip(for me that is) to Vegas for the weekend-leaving our poor little gal with my Mom. She feels completely abandoned... scarred forever. Not so much.

Dec 1st 2008-Rome is 8 months old, Toria is 2 and we our on our"one night close to home" anniversary. Since every other year I am nursing! So off to the "anniversary inn."

Dec 1st 2009-Baby #3 is 4 months from arriving. We have a relaxing day getting massages, having a quiet lunch, and finally pedicures.

Five years, almost 3 babies, a house and lots more in between... next thing I know I will turn around and it will be 25!
