Happy 5th Anniversery!

Five years ago today I was sooooooooo nervous as I got ready for my wedding. I've never been a girly-girl, so needless to say I got up had breakfast and DID NOT go to get my hair/makeup professionally done. I got dressed in my ratty old jeans, yellow Hawaiian shirt and a grey sweater jacket. Yeah, I looked stunning that a.m. We loaded into the car and start to head off to the place of the wedding... only I forgot my shoes. Too bad, my mom mad us go back and get the white wedding shoes instead of letting me wear my green high tops (don't worry, I wore them to my reception, much to my mom's horror!)

Once there, my coworker from Japan did my hair for me. I did my makeup and we had a dance party in the bride's room. My mom yelled at me that I was supposed to be in my dress for pictures and getting ready.

All the girls were ready and we had our pictures taken, and then it was the boys turn (we didn't get to see them... I saw the photos after the fact.) And then it was time...

It was such a nice day (lucky thing, as our wedding was outside...) and a bit chilly (for a strapless dress!) The ceremony was great and then we whisked off to take MORE pictures. Finally, we got to eat and then more importantly, DANCE! It was so much fun.

Today I awoke to find this waiting for me in the kitchen:

Five years later and we are still so happy together! Here's to many more!
