5 years

On Friday we celebrated our fifth anniversary. Yippee!!!
How did we spend our anniversary...traveling to the big city to visit the burn center...not so fun.
So tonight we are going out, this is a VERY rare occurrence for us. Seriously like maybe three times a year do we actually leave the house and go on a just us date and (one is usually around our anniversary...cause I insist upon it).
Why don't we do it more, mostly because we hate asking people to watch our kids and my husband is a HUGE homebody.
It was like the minute we were married....no more dates....it took some adjusting.
So we are heading out tonight to see Harry Potter, best part....we have free movie tickets thanks to the hospital when we had Melody. :)
Hopefully he gets done with his cement job soon enough that we can get something to eat too...I really don't want to cook...well clean up afterwards, truth be known.
I usually post the same pics from our wedding...so I'll mix it up and do some random ones.

Enjoy!!!

Something I learned. I hated the kissing shots...I was always busting up. Same with the serious ones...which  I usually ended up looking constipated or something.

Why is this split?? IDK. But the look on his face...I still get it, from him and his oldest daughter.  I always give them the look I have on my face of pure love and joy. ;) 

My flowers. Loved them!

Married in this Temple. :)

Me. :)

My man. 

Hmmm....my Alien family?

Both sides of his family.

Here's my non-alien family. Both sides. 

Our Cake...not quite what I ordered, but it turned out great! I wanted the fruit mixed on top, not lined up in a circle, but whatever.

Yep it was a Lamb Roast Reception. Yumm!

Table decorations.

My family. Amazing My brothers are now both as tall as Koda. Their just babies here.

His family. There are sooo many little kids now. Eight, count that 8! ( And 3 are mine....)

I really want to know what my dad is telling us here....what do you think it is?

Well....That was my wedding day.

Okay, because I love you

This is what I said four years ago to my husband of almost eleven months.
I'd finally given in and said okay you can hang that elk head in my house...whenever that is.
Almost two years ago it was the first thing in my house.
One sure thing about marriage, you both give a little and you both take a little, to find a balance.
Growing up I was dead determined I would never ever have an animal head or stuffed animal in my house ever.
Well....I married a hunter....end of story.
His argument against mine of "It's my house...NO WAY!" was
"It's my house to and I have to live here too."
Needless to say he won.
So this lovely guy.

Gets a  dusting every week and a good vacuuming once a month
So he looks ok and not all dusty and grody, like many do.
Another compromise I've made.
If and when he gets a "nice" deer head he can mount it in the house.
That's it though.
Anything else, he can build his own room and put them in there.
End of story.
Thank heavens right now the size of my house prohibits anything else.
PHEW!!
OH and side note...yes I've changed things in the house and the couch now sits where the TV use too.

Have you had to let a dead animal in your house, because I love you too? Maybe something else?
