Five Years

I can’t believe that it’s been five years already. It seems like only a few months ago we were vacationing in Montana to celebrate our third anniversary. Now it’s been five years, and unfortunately, we’ve been apart for half of that. Unlike many couples I know, I think that the time apart has brought us closer together and formed a relationship that is stronger that it would be if we’d lived together the whole time.

God has blessed us in so many ways in the last five years. We now have twin 3 year olds that couldn’t have been more perfect for us. We have a hound that is still healthy despite his old age. We are completely debt free and starting to save for retirement. We’ve had a happy and blessed five years and looking forward to many more.

Another anniversary that takes place today is one year since I arrived in the Middle East. That also doesn't seem like a year, but I'm looking forward to leaving soon.
