this is me.

:: 5 Years ::

Of autumn walks, Starbucks in hand

Of winter fires and cozy nights

Of spring walks at the beach

Of summer adventures

...as a married couple.

This year, my MIL came out from the mainland to watch Little J for our anniversary on October 7th, allowing us a much needed date night.  We went to our favorite seafood joint in Gibsons, Smitty's.  The food is amazing, the the beer menu extensive, the staff entertaining - our kinda place!  We sat at the bar (just because we could, not having Little J along) and had an amazing 1 1/2 of just being Jody & Melissa, without the labels of mommy & daddy.  We reminisced about our wedding day, what we loved and what we'd do differently.  We laughed about all the adventures we'd had and dreamed about all the ones we will have as a growing family.  Then we ran home to snuggle our little man.

Fun Fact:

We were married on October 7th.  Its always been the day we celebrate.  But, our legal wedding date isn't until October 13th (I think!).
