Five Fabulous Years

*Our Wedding Day*
David and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary last Thursday, May 20th. We were married in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple on May 20, 2005. I can't believe it has already been 5 years. It has truly been wonderful and we are excited for an infinite number of years to come. *Dating* *Our Engagement Picture & Announcement* Because we have a newborn and a 22 month old, we were only able to escape for a couple of hours together, so we decided to spend them doing sealings in the temple. It was a perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. I am so grateful for such an amazing husband and that I am sealed to him for all eternity. I love him so much!!! On a sad note - David left early this morning for his 12 week interniship in Kazakhstan. I definitely have been crying lots leading up to him leaving and have been bursting into tears every so often since he left. Being away from my spouse is not something I am good at handling. I miss him so much already and can't imagine how I'll get through the summer. We don't even know if we will be able to talk very often because we don't know his internet situation yet. I wish we could have gone with him like last summer! Ukraine was such an adventure for our little family, and we just loved being able to experience it together.*Spending some quality together and eating a delicious American hamburger before leaving.*I am very scared for him because neither of us know what it will be like over there and I am also just very sad that I won't be with him for such a long time. I don't know why I am complaining though...at least I get to spend the summer with our two cute babies and he is the one who is all alone in a foreign country. Anyway...I hope this summer goes by REALLY fast and that I can be tough and handle us being apart.

Oh Heahter, I started crying reading this! Know you guys will be in our prayers and that we will be hoping the very best for you (and the quickest summer you have ever experienced - who would have thought you'd ever want that?). Your two sweet kids are as adorable as ever. And I'm glad you have had a wonderful five years!

I really, really don't deal well without Rich either! Last year we were apart for like 4 days and I became incredibly irritable and grumpy. It was ridiculous. I also discovered this while he was on tour in China. Anyway, I feel for you and am praying for you. Let's have a play date sometime!

Can you believe we have been married 5 years! It sure has gone by fast. I love your new family pictures. You are such a brave woman. There's no way I could do that for 12 weeks, but I know you will do great with your 2 adorable kids!
