5 years!

Along with the oh so exciting debut of Halle's singing extrordinaire, this weekend marked another exciting event with Brian and I celebrating our 5 year Anniversary! We both can't believe it's been that long already! Someone joked and said, "haven't you had like 5 addresses!" Well yes, we've had many travels in these past 5 years. At our anniversary dinner- at Lawry's- amazing!- we talked about some of our favorite memories. I went back through all of the places we've lived and just had such fondness of each of them- even though they may have been hard at first. I've just really seen how God has grown us both and has provided for us and taught us so much. We also have 2 very special accomplishments in the past 5 years that we are reminded of every day! One not like the other- but both amazingly unique and special. I don't think 5 years ago, when I said, "I do," I'd have written our story the way it's played out, but it's much more perfect because God has written it so perfectly. Happy 5 years Hunny- I love you!




Here we are at dinner- and afterwards at the ice rink in Dallas!

Here's our little girl singing at our Christmas Program today!

Outtakes

I did a photo shoot the other day to capture the perfect picture for this year's Christmas card. I think I shot over 150 pictures and the one I got isn't exactly perfect. It's rather challenging getting a 3 year old and an almost one year old to look at the camera at the same time, let alone to have them both smiling. Especially when the little one wants nothing to do with sitting or standing still. But I think I managed to select a pretty good one for our Christmas card. Here are a few cute ones that did not make the cut.
