Dear J,
Today is the big 5. We've been married 5 years. Cuhrazy! It has flown by. Honestly, in the beginning, I didn't know if we would make it this long. That first year was T-O-U-G-H. I know you agree. You knew it would be hard, but I had all these sweet ideas of what marriage would be like. Mainly, that you wouldn't have any opinions or say in any matter and what I said went. Ha! I know, I can be really stubborn. I can't believe you put up with me sometimes. :)
But, you know, I wouldn't change a thing. We've learned so much and we've been through so much in these short five years. And I think it's only brought us closer. I thank God for you every day and pray that I can be the kind of wife He wants me to be.
Below are some photos of us over the past years this day in July.

Dinner date at the Cheesecake factory. No kids this year, but very shortly we would be expecting our third.
July 23, 2008
Shep was 2 months old. That is why I look like the life is being sucked out of me. :) But still happy!
And July 23,2009
What a year! Our little Sophie turned into a teenager. We moved... again. New job, new city, new schools.
But one thing will always stay the same.
Our love and commitment for one another.
Thank you for being a strong husband, an awesome daddy and my best friend.
I look forward to many more years as your wife.
(And more hairstyles from you... good grief, your worse than a woman! Look at those pictures! Short hair, long hair, no hair...)
I love you with all of my heart and more,
K
