The BIG 5

Joshy and I celebrated our fifth year anniversary on Aug 22. I cannot believe how fast those five years have gone by. I really feel like we were married just yesterday and am having those feelings of having excited butterflies over the fact that I married the hottest boy ever, still getting used to having a boy sleep next to me and feeling like we are on an endless date, never having to have Joshy leave me. But if I really think about all that we have been through together it does feel like we have been married for five years. We have moved 5 times, both finished 4 years of school graduated, have had two babies, have a mortgage, two car payments, and a real job. Wow! I am so happy with where we are at, it is so fun.
It was Joshy's turn this year to plan our celebration together and he did an awesome job!! He is so cute and such a little closet romantic. He told me the night before what we were doing. He got up early and packed a little lunch for us, while I got ready. My mom watched our kids and we waited for Cam --our friend from HS to come--(more like he waited for us hee hee Thanks Cam) We drove up to the Snake River Hoe back--above Swan Valley and went White Water Rafting!!! Cam was our "guide" hee hee and the Ellsworths came with us!! (Thanks again guys) We went down twice and got a little wet-hee hee I actually fell out of the boat on the BIG KAHUNA --(which I will blame on a kayaker that wouldn't move out of the falls so our boat was on top of him). BUT it was sooo much fun! We haven't been since we had our kiddos and it was fun to actually "do" something with Josh. We then drove through Jackson and over to Victor where we stayed at a B&B--hee hee (thanks Becky for the suggestion) We had dinner at Tony's Pizza and Pasta in driggs that I will give a little shout out for!! Awesome. Then went back and watched a movie together. The next day Joshy had set up a couples massage for us but we both were a little sunburned so we canceled. It was sooo much fun. Thank you Josh for such a great time with you! You are my best.

So for fun I put together a little slide show of some pics of us together. We are getting so old! hee hee

Make an on-line slideshow at www.OneTrueMedia.com

Also if you want to see some pictures of us on the raft, Lynn found a link of a guy that sells them at SnakeRiver.elecationimaging.com
