On Friday, January 4, Jenny and I will celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary. Forgive the cliche, but it’s hard to believe it’s been five years already. Time flies when you’re married to your best friend. To celebrate the day, we’re staying at the Gaylord Texan, which is still decorated with over a million lights, a 40-foot Christmas tree, and a great exhibit called ICE that’s made of, well, very large amounts of ice. Guess I need to talk to Mom about dogsitting…=)

We were 24 and 26 when we got married. I worked in Technology at SWA, Jenny as an admin at Camden. We lived in a great apartment in Euless overlooking a beautiful park. I drove my beloved Dodge Avenger from high school, Jenny a Hyundai Accent named Joey. I’d just received my dispatcher’s certificate. Jenny was finishing up her degree at Dallas Baptist. We had some goals and expectations about where we would be a few years later, but we had no way to know exactly where we would be at the five-year mark. Since then we’ve come a long way, over smooth stretches of road and bumpy. I’m so grateful to be on this wild journey with her.

Baby Box, one of the goals of the journey, is growing nicely. We met our new OB on Wednesday, so check BB’s page for the latest news.
