Anniversary weekend....

This weekend was fantastic.  I got an entire 2 1/2 days with my man {which is unprecedented lately} and it was so nice!

We watched movies, had a wonderful anniversary dinner, talked about little baby Davis, talked about a summer vacation, and even cleaned out the fridge...I know, sounds silly, but it made me so happy to get that done!  Oh, and Jon sent me an Edible Arrangement!  I was super excited. I've always wanted one, and it did not disappoint.  He even had them cut one of the pineapple slice into a 5....awe.

All in all it was quite relaxing and just nice to spend time together.  Jon has been working into the evenings alot lately.  Comes with the territory of moving into working as a Realtor full time, but I sure do miss him.  It doesn't help that this pregnant lady is ready for bed by 8:30 or 9:00 every night.

Over dinner on Saturday we reminisced about our first 5 years of marriage.  About the ways we've grown, and our best memories.   Funniest moments, favorite moments.  We watched the teenagers who were out for prom, and talked about how old they make us feel, and what our daughter {should we have one} would and wouldn't be allowed to wear out of the house.  

It was fun.

What did you do this weekend? 

5...

Dear Jon,

Tomorrow marks our 5th year of marriage.  Looking back, it's hard to believe that it's already been five years, yet I can't imagine not being your wife.  It's become so much a part of who I am. 

Remember how scary getting married was?  How uncertain everything felt?  Yet, even then I knew that we were meant to be together, that somehow all the drama and stress of wedding planning would melt away and our life would begin again. 

The last five years have brought with them a whole new set of challenges, but overall, I can honestly say that somehow, I love you more today than I did back then.  The gift of marriage is something I don't think you can explain to anyone who hasn't experienced it, and it's taken me a long time to accept it.  Thank you for giving me that gift. 

You truly are the best husband a woman could ask for.  You're kind, and funny, and {if asked nicely} will do just about anything I ask of you.  I'm a very lucky woman.

I love the way you take pride in our home.  I love the way you get excited over little things, and open your heart to others.  I love that you always have 2-3 beverages going at any given time.  I love how you come upstairs to "tuck me in" at night, and even though you tease me that you won't do that anymore once the baby comes, I know you will.  I love that I've taught you to be a hugger.  I love the sound of your breathing in the bed next to me every morning, and the way your feet stick out from underneath the covers.  I love that there's no doubt in my mind that you are gonna rock at being a dad.  I love the way you support me, and encourage me, even though I'm stubborn and don't want to see that all the time. I love that your family is my family, and vice versa.  I love you. 

When I think back over the last five years and how far we've come, I can't help but get excited about what the next five years will bring.  Where will we be in five years?  There's no doubt our lives will look quite different by then.  One thing I do know is that it's going to be wonderful, cause I'll be with you.

Happy Anniversary, my love.

Mrs. Davis

 p.s.  Lydia is turning 17 tomorrow too!  Can you believe how little she was at our wedding?  Awe.
