Five Years.
It's hard to believe. Saying that time flies would be an understatement. All year I've been amazed at the fact that this is our fifth year as a married couple, and now it has really been a full five years and I'm still amazed! Not amazed that we made it this far, but amazed at how quickly time flies. It's true what they say about when you're having fun..
I'm not going to say that the last five years have been easy. Because they weren't. We both lost loved ones. We lost people we both loved. We miss our first puppy everyday. We've both dealt with more than a handful of stressful situations. School. We left our first home. Work.
Life definitely did not hesitate to throw us a few curveballs.
But we also did a lot of travel, experienced Paris together (for the first time). Laughed. A lot. Shared a love for baseball and the Dodgers. Saw our favorite bands, and in another country. Ate a lot of sushi. Visited the happiest place on earth often. Saw a lot of fireworks. Almost won the Kentucky Derby. Dined LA. I finally ran half marathons. Corona on tap. Niner married off our best friend. New babies in our lives. Hawaii. The first black president in office, twice. Reconnecting with old friends. Making new ones. Finding vortexes in Sedona. Living with the sweetest puppy with the swiggliest booty...
I'm so very lucky to be with someone who's patient and loves me unconditionally. I am far far from perfect, but being with my wife has made me a little bit stronger, a little bit braver, a little bit more confident.
I wouldn't change the last five years. Life happens. The key is to find someone you can count on to experience it with.
With that said, we celebrated our anniversary with a perfect dinner at WP24 in downtown LA. The view was beautiful, the food was delicious and I had the best company. :)
I can't wait to spend a lifetime with you, my love. <3
