It’s Been 5 Years!
On the 4th of July we celebrated our fifth anniversary. In some ways it seems like the time has really flown by (have I really been having this much fun for 5 years now?) and in other ways the time seems appropriately long (we do have 3 kids). One area that has really shown the wear and tear of our five years are our wedding gifts. Our very nice, expensive towels are now quite pathetic and have a permanent odor to them, our great set of Rubbermaid storage containers are lost, stained, or have broken lids, and our expensive non-stick Teflon pan set is quite a bit “stickier” than it used to be. I guess these things are not meant to last more than 5 years, but we don’t have the money to replace all of them now. Therefore I propose a new tradition that everyone should give quinquennialweds replacement gifts. If everyone gave their friends the exact same thing they gave them for the wedding on their 5th anniversary no one would have to go to bed under stained sheets or a quilt with 3 holes burned through it.
For those of you who didn’t know us 5 years ago here are a few pictures from the blessed event and from our subsequent anniversaries:

I wholeheartedly agree! We just celebrated our 7th and BOY could we use some new towels…bathroom towels AND kitchen towels. I was wondering recently how all those “new” towels could be so dirty. I can’t believe how quickly the time has gone!
PS Make sure you spend your next anniversary in Birch Bay

Happy anniversary! The Biltmore’s gorgeous; we walked through it once when we were in downtown LA - how fun to have lunch there!
