Today is our 5-year wedding anniversary. My wife and I were married right outside of Durango Colorado at 5:15 PM 10/02/2000. It was a very nice little ceremony with my wife, the Justice of the Peace, and myself. We were married in a little clearing right by the lake and we were the only ones around. It is one of those times that I will remember all of my life. I still to this day remember the small details of that day. The way she smiled, what her dress looked like, how I messed up on saying my vows…. Time stood still for a moment. There are always a few times in your life that you would like to relive and this is one of them for me.

I was truly lucky to find this woman. We have almost everything in common which makes life much easier. We have only had 4 fights since we have been together. And most of those were probably my fault. I leave her a note whenever I leave for work and there is always a note waiting for me when I come home the next morning. When my daughter is older I will do the same for her.

This is the first time that we have not been out to Colorado during our anniversary. The baby took care of that for us. But just as I was lucky enough to find my wife she was great enough to give me my daughter.

My wife and I 10/5/2000



Thank you Jennifer for making my life worth living!

Britt

 

Conrats to both on your anniversary.
May there be many more.

 

Geez I hate when you call me Jennifer

Congratulations on #5 and that beautiful little one

 

Congratulations on the big 5. Now, wait until it has a zero behind it and see what you say about the wife - - it will be more mushy than now. She is a beautiful lady and what you say about her says a lot about who you are. Cherish her - - she is God's gift to you.

Bob

Sorry Jennifer I mean Lary, Man... I swore I wasn't going to do that anymore. Sorry

Britt

 

Many congratulations!

I wish you many more years of happiness,

Congradulations on 5 years. My wife and i just celebrated our 5 year aniversary last week. Oh how time flys. Mayby next year we will get around to starting a family.

 

Wow Britt!!! That was sweet! Glad you two found each other sounds like you have a great thing going. That kind of attitude will keep it going too. Mr. Flash leaves me notes, I just love it. Glad to see there are other romantic men out there.
Congratulations to both of you on your 5 years. May you have many many more.

 

Congrats on #5 !!! She sounds like a keeper. Keep doing the little things that remind her of why she chose you.

For example, I bought my wife a motorcycle helmet one year for Xmas ..... she stayed around for another 15 years after that just so she could remind me every single day of how stupid my present was !!

Congrats,

I got a monogrammed welding helmet for my B-day one year. I loved it! Got a motorcycle helmet for Christmas too, loved that as well. I don't see what the problem is.

 

Monogrammed welding helmet, eh ?? COOOOL !!!!

I didn't see the problem with it either at the time .... just wanted her to go for a ride with me.

She was on a ring kick at the time ... I was on my Harley kick and since I was the one buying the present .... my ring won !!! (or so I thought).

She got me the present that I was asking for and that was my downfall. Darn technicality.

We got married pretty low key in the Heart of Reno Chapel ... right there in between all the casino's. Anniversary #20 is coming up next August ... I'm going to marry her again only this time in a church in the Austrian Alps (she saw it in a picture somewhere). I'm a sloooow learner, but I do learn.

Good man!

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks

Might throw in a nice sized rock too. That will really get ya the brownie points.

 

Congrats!!

 

I’m not sure how romantic I am. I started leaving her notes not long after we started going out and it just became a habit. A good one at that. We now have a safe full of notes of all shapes and sizes. Some of them funny, some sweet, some written in a hurry, some wishing the other luck for something going on that day, etc. etc.
Life is too short to not say what you feel. Too many things go unsaid and after a while you lose sight of the reason you wanted to be with this person the rest of your life. Then it just becomes someone you live with. I never wanted it to be that way.

I learned a lot by watching my grandparents. I NEVER once saw them get into an argument. I’m sure they did but if they did, they never did it around me. They couldn’t stand to be more than 15 feet apart from each other. They did most everything together. If there were two people destined to be together they were the ones. They were married for 55 years. When my grandmother was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, I learned more about what true love was by watching my grandfather take care of her that last year. It was the first time I had ever seen him cry.

I was lucky enough to find my wife. I don’t know what the trick is for making a marriage work. For me, it was finding someone that will put up with my crazy ideas, beliefs, and quirks. It’s a good thing she has a good sense of humor. I think it also helps that we have the same interest and goals in life.

Thanks for all the complements! I do feel fortunate.

Britt

 

Congrats!!!! The notes and cards are always wonderful!! So many more years ahead. Congrats again
