Celebrating 5!
Happy 5-year anniversary to my wonderful husband!
Five whole years already? Amazing! We have had such a great time so far. If I was asked to describe it in a word, I might choose hilarious! Seriously, I don’t know if I’ve stopped laughing once since we got married. In fact, I believe the laughing actually started at our wedding. So many things went wrong — flower girl fiascos, bridesmaids fainting, wedding bouquets getting mysteriously killed right before the ceremony, bugs swimming in our communion wine, and too much more to list, all in 100 degree heat — that Chris and I couldn’t stop laughing on our honeymoon when re-living the eventful day!
The absurdity of the amount of disasters in one day has made our wedding, by far, one of the best events that either of us has ever attended to this day. You just can’t plan that sort of thing yourself, you know? That’s life just happening. And I love that. Life took off running that day and has never slowed down or gotten boring since. And now, with the addition of our comedian daughter, there’s even more to laugh about every day.
But since this is a wedding anniversary, and the first word you usually think of when thinking about weddings isn’t hilarious, some of the words I’d really choose to describe the last 5 years being married to Chris are commitment, friendship, perseverance and love. We’ve had a crazy couple of years with tons of crazy changes. And I’m amazed again and again by how compatible Chris and I are through it all, and how, after five years of marriage, he’s still the first person I want to go to with exciting news and the last person I want to see before I shut my eyes to go to sleep.
Thanks, Chris, for making these last five years so amazing and for being even better now than the man I married. Thanks for being my biggest cheerleader, for your tenderness with our daughter, for your faith, for the creativity you bring to my life, for your unwavering love.
Here’s to many, many more years of laughter and love. And maybe a few more bugs in the wine. I love you!

but no other problems. When I think back to it I just remember it being beautiful and fun. I’m loving reading your blog and listening to Christoph in his conference calls to Chris. I wish we could have you guys over for dinner! You are a super cool family and I wish you many more years of laughter.
So I guess I’m just going to have to be ready to cry like a little girl all day. You always know how to touch that part of me that reminds me why this marriage is such a wonderful thing.
