Has it really been 5 years

It is amazing....today is Chris and my 5 year anniversary. I am so blessed to married to such an amazing and wonderful man. Chris is my best friend and the love of my life. Every day that passes I love him more and more. Time has passed so quickly. We have had our roller coaster ups and downs, as all marriages do, but we have stood together through it all, as one. We started out with just the two of us (with 2 dogs- Bear and Cowboy) and grew to an amazing family of 4 (with 3 dogs - Bear, Cowboy and Bella and a cat - Chloe).

Life is always busy and forever changing but with my husband by my side, we will make it though anything and succeed in everything we do.

I look forward in our future and I know that it will be very different in the years to come (hopefully more children and possibly more animals) but I see us standing side by side, more in love than we are today.

I am so amazed that I married into the most wonderful family as well. Some people cant stand their in-laws, but I can honestly say I love all of my in-laws with all my heart. Both sides of his family have welcomed me with open arms from the very beginning.

My husband (along with our children who are a result of the love we have for each other) is the greatest blessing God has given to me in my life. I am so very grateful and fortunate for the life I live. Words cant come to express the joy and happiness that fills my heart to its breaking point today. LOVE is the only word that even comes close.

May everyone be blessed with the feelings I have right now.
