FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

On the 17th, brandon & I will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary!!! The above picture is us on the eventful day.(obviously) The pictures below are us now:

Physical changes:

Elise: I pretty much still do my hair the same. I'm carrying extra, never lost pregnancy/baby weight. F.Y.I.: If your body image is important to you, wait more than six months after giving birth before becoming preggo again!! Ha Ha!

Brandon: He's just become more distinguished! (not fair!!)

Mental changes: The picture says it all! (Just kidding) ha ha

In the past five years we have learned so much, not just about eachother, but about life.

We've had 4 moves, 2 children. We've experienced happy times, sad times,good laughs, good crys, hardships, family deaths, and witnessed new lives being born into this world. We've learned how to become less selfish, and more understanding. We've learned how to put others before ourselves, and that sacrifices aren't always easy, but always worth it in the end. We've become closer than I ever thought possible. We've learned that perfection is not possible, but to always keep it our goal. As long as we're moving forward & not standing still, we are succeeding. I've experienced love so strong, that I never thought it could exist. I've learned that motherhood can be very hard, but so worth it. I know that this marriage has been blessed beyond belief, that we've been given extra help from a higher sorce. I thank my heavenly father every day for this beautiful family he has given me. Happy five years, Brandon! Thankyou for your love and friendship. I'm so happy to spend the rest of eternity with you! FIVE YEARS DOWN, FOREVER TO GO!!

JUST A REMINDER: I will be setting my blog to private next week, so if you would like to & haven't done so, please leave me your email address so I can add you to my invite list! ;)
