Five years ago today, I woke up to a morning like this:

and today, we certainly lacked the sunshine, but we definitely had snow:

And today, I got to wake up in an almost finished room in my own house and then shortly thereafter see these two crazies too - with bad bed head and stickers on their noses and all sorts of silliness.


But five years ago, our day was different. We gathered under a pine tree in the snow surrounded by our friends and family and said vows. Five years ago today Raph and I forged a super-human-life-bond (as it said on our wedding invitations).


Our lives have changed so much in five years and sometimes I miss things about our old lives - independence, quiet:), etc., but I never wish I was in it without Raph. Never.
