5 Years

Right after the Ceremony
Mr and Mrs Collin Earl Today is our FIFTH Anniversary. It is SO hard for me to believe that 5 years ago today, I married my soul mate. Its crazy to think about what has happened and changed since that day. I was 20 when we got married, Collin was 21. We have moved from Washington, to Idaho, then to Colorado, and have landed now in South Dakota. Collin has had 5 different jobs, and 2 internships. We have two beautiful daughters. We have made some of the greatest friends between moves and miss all the ones we have moved away from.

It has been an AMAZING 5 years.

Coppin' a feel fresh outta the gate!


Do you even recognize these guys...yeah, thats Collin in the middle....weird.


For our anniversary this year I took on the planning because Collin has been working such crazy hours. He has a GPS in his car for work, so yesterday afternoon I just sent him a text with an address on it. He came straight from work, and it led him to the Marriott at Flat Irons mall. He came in a found an assortment of all his favorite snacks...and me of course. I also got him a Spa package with 4 visits and a game he really wanted for the WII. I think he was pretty impressed!
We went to PF Changs for dinner and then back to the hotel....you know, to get some sleep...

We slept in a little bit this morning and then went to the mall. We went out for breakfast and just walked. I got a new shirt and some new shoes....WAHOO...and then we went for a walk outside, the area is beautiful! We headed off to lunch and OF COURSE as we are walking up to the restaurant, his phone rings and he had to go to work, so no lunch but the rest of it was great!(at the mall today)

Happy Fifth babe. You are the love of my life and I feel so lucky to have you for eternity.

I love you.
