5 years ago we stood before our family and friends and promised to love, honour and respect each other. It was a day filled with love, joy and all the possibilities of tomorrow.

The last 5 years has been filled with many unexpected turns. Our journey has included many hurdles to jump, a lot of learning and compromise, joy and if you know us even a little tons of laughter. In our 5 years of marriage we have both been through major health issues and spent more time pacing hospital hallways then we ever wanted to, we have enjoyed settling into a new church, we have learned new skills (kayaking, cross country skiing, gardening, and rock picking ), we enjoyed the years we had in our little skid shack aka the love shack, and after 2 years of hard work and a lot of help from our family we moved in to our beautiful new home.
But the most amazing journey we have gone through is adopting our little girl! I will always be reminded how challenging the adoption process was on us as a couple and how much we grew together as husband and wife. Today I am celebrating my anniversary with my best friend, a man who challenges me and loves me, who makes me laugh, and sometimes cry, who is a wonderful dad, and provider for our family. This morning we woke up much too early and brought our little girl in between us in bed and turned on her favourite movie so we could enjoy some snuggles. What a blessing it is, to be a family of three. What a blessing we have been given in our little girl who loves to sing and dance, who is a climber, and the messiest eater I have ever seen. She is full of laughter and giggles and of course some very firm opinions on how we should do things and when.
