5 years

Exactly 5 years ago yesterday, on a beautiful November Saturday the 17th, I married my best friend.  

The day and weekend were absolutely perfect and we were so excited to be celebrating with all of our family and friends.  

We have been thoroughly enjoying every single day since then.  Whether it's been good times or bad, I'm grateful for all of it and how it has gotten us to this point.  

After 5 years of marriage and about 11 years together, I can honestly say that I feel so incredibly blessed and lucky to be married to Ben and have my best friend along for this ride of life with me.  

Wells has been the most incredible addition to our little family this past year and has shown me a whole new level of love for Ben as a father and for this little life we have created together.  

 I can't wait to see what the next 5, 10, 20, 50.... years will bring as well :)  

 Ben outdid himself this anniversary with a gift a day for 5 days leading up to the actual anniversary day yesterday:

Tuesday: Sunflowers

 Wednesday: Clothes

 Thursday: A dinner date gift certificate and a babysitter (his parents) arranged for Friday night

 Friday: dinner, wine, and VS

Saturday: a new mattress (some coworkers of Ben told him this was a bad gift, but I assure you it was an awesome gift... our mattress is about 15-20 years old hand-me-down and I have been begging him to get a new one since I was pregnant)- it gets delivered tomorrow and I am so excited! 

We had an incredible week and weekend celebrating this awesome occasion.  

The Lord has blessed me immensely and brought this incredible Godly man to be my partner for life and I am so thankful for that.  

I LOVE YOU BEN!!!!
