Happy 5 Years!!

In an earlier post I told you that we had been too busy over the weekend to post anything. It's because we were celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary! How crazy to think it's been 5 years already! My parents too the kids for the weekend so we could have some time to ourselves, which we did nothing with really, just hanging out and a little shopping and of course we went out to dinner. But that's all the really how exciting the weekend was. So I thought I'd add a few photos to highlight the past 5 years.... First, what better to get at work but a huge boquet of flowers!
Our bachelor/bachelorette parties were on the same night and together, we just went to the Royals/White Sox game with our best friends Natalie and Kyle
The wedding was beautiful, we got married at home plate of the AAA field in Emporia. (This photo is awful, I realized I don't have many photos of the wedding on CD, they're all just prints)
Our honeymoon in New York, here's us in Times Square after we had gone to a Yankee's game

Then back to school for us, me to graduate school and Andy to get his athletic training degree


Then along came Jet Gabriel
And a year after Jet we graduated college (finally) moved to Kansas City and got real jobs

Then a sad time for us, we lost Andy's Dad and a baby we'd been expecting in the same week

But we made it through and had not one but two baby girls, Harleigh Kathryn and Rogue Alexis

And here we are 5 years (as of October 11) later, 3 kids, 3 degrees and Andy back in school getting his firefighter/EMT certifications, real jobs, and having a great time. It's not always easy, but it's always been worth it.

Thanks husband for being the best ever, it's been a great ride so far and I can't wait to see what the future brings for us!
