5 YEARS!!!!!

Today we mark five years of bliss. You know all the cliches:

"where has all the time gone?"
"seems just like yesterday!"

I would agree, but at the same time I know where the time has gone. Looking back it is fairly easy to retrace our steps:

1. Get married in Michigan
2. "Move" to PA
3. Continue moving to FL two weeks later
4. Live with sister and her family for many months until we found jobs
5. Got jobs and moved to Kissimmee for first place
6. Moved 3 months later due to a hurricane damaging our condo
7. For the next several months we moved from staying at Sandras sisters house for a couple days to a couple hotels to a vacation home to an apartment.
8. Moved to Plant City

So for the first two years of marriage we moved nearly as much as a military family in their entire career.

I think we would love to move again. It has been such a long time since we packed up everything so we need to stay fresh. =) But seriously, if we could move I think we might go for it as long as the place had some acreage for the dogs to run.

I know I should be excited, looking forward to what the next five years holds, but as much that goes on in our lives I got enough to look forward to what happens tomorrow - 1 day at a time.

We have met many many people along the way that have made their marks in our lives. We cherish those moments and look forward to the many to come. So thank you to all of you that have some impact into our lives.

Mostly though, I love the memories that Sandra and I have made together. Although our marriage is not perfect we have the perfect marriage that God HIMSELF ordained. Believe me, if you knew the story behind our relationship you would agree that God had to bring us together.

Sandra, thank you for the memories and I do look forward to what life holds for us next.

I love you.
