With our anniversary coming up tomorrow, I started thinking about dates and landmarks in a relationship. This Valentine's Day we will have been together 5 years. I've never been very romantic or overly sentimental, but our anniversary has always been important to me. When I was getting excited about the 5 year mark, it hit me that we haven't even been married a year yet and don't most people celebrate their wedding anniversaries bigger than their dating anniversaries? However, I think I could make the case that the day we went on our first date is possibly more important than our wedding date. It's the day that changed our lives forever (even though we didn't know it at the time). It's the day when our future really started to unfold. Being with Brandon defines and shapes my future like no other decision I've ever made (well, except maybe the decision to have a child). Our relationship has changed and evolved since then, but it's the day when it all started. Our wedding date will always be special too, but we knew long before we said "I do" that we were the people we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with.
It feels like yesterday that we were at Sol y Luna for our 4 year anniversary last year. I can't believe that one year later we are married with a baby on the way. It's crazy how radically different your life can be in just a year!
This picture was taken at the Little Black Dress Party about a month after we met. We were five years younger then, crazy!
Today we have a doctor's appointment. How wonderful would it be if John Mark decided to show up on our anniversary? Then Valentine's Day would be even more special to us! Fingers crossed :)
