Happy Anniversary

Five years ago at this time, I was waiting to walk down the aisle to marry the man of my dreams...I was also praying that I didn't fall down the steps or trip over my dress to get there.  I was mainly nervous because all eyes were on me, I know that is the point but it still makes you a little nervous.  Once I made down the aisle and was looking eye to eye with Mark everything else seemed to disappear even the nerves.   I don't even know if anyone really heard our vows because I wasn't talking very loud and Mark had been sick and pretty much didn't have a voice at all, but we heard them and that was all the mattered.  I truly felt like a Princess that day and Mark was my Prince.  Everything that day was so perfect from my dress, family and friends helping us prepare, to the ceremony and of course the reception. Our ceremony was quick and to the point, which is what we wanted but it was in one of the most gorgeous spots with a lake in the background.  We have always said that our reception was one of the best ever, there was not one person that didn't have a great time.  I mean every one was dancing at some point, it was so much fun.  It was even so much fun that Mark and I didn't want to leave, but the DJ told us we had to because our ride was there to take us to Atlanta. 

Then it was on to Costa Rica for a week at a luxirious resort, it was amazing the water was so blue, seriously I have never seen water so blue, and it was so HOT but we managed to hang out at the pool bar for most of the day drinking some fruity drinks and then we would eat at a nice restuarant every night, we tried every type of food they had!  We also went deep sea fishing, but it was so hot that it was pretty much miserable, but it was an expierence we can share with our kids one day.  We had so much fun but we were ready to come home to spend some time with all of our friends and family before returning completely back to reality and boy did we have a HUGE surprise when we got back home.  Chris and Art picked us up at the airport on a Thursday night and kept the biggest secret until we pulled up in our driveway.  When we pulled up we noticed that our yard had been completely done...from sod,  to flowers, well house was built and I can't even remember everything else and the best part was the every one who had helped out was hiding on the other side of the house and came running out to greet us.  It is something we will never forget.  WE HAVE THE BEST FRIENDS AND FAMILY EVER! 

It has been the best five years of my life.  I love Mark with all my heart, we truly met each other at the perfect time of our lives.  We really do have the perfect marriage, and we are each others Best Friend. In these five years we have had two amazing, beautiful little girls and they make us complete!!!
