5 Years Together

John and I have been together for 5 years. Here is the first picture of us together that was taken a couple of months after our first date. We were enjoying a hike at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs.

It was a Saturday afternoon on January 12, 2002 when I walked through John's garage and knocked on his door. Little did I know that was going to be my future husband standing on the other end of the door. We should of took a picture together at the time, but you usually don't think to do that when you are on your first date with someone. Would have been cool to have that memory though.

Here we are 5 years later...happy as can be! Our next adventure will be bringing a life into the world. Our sweet baby boo, a.k.a. Cedric, will be making his appearance in two months, and we are excited and a little scared about becoming first-time parents. It's funny how things all work out...I love you, Boo Boo. :)

I think this song is fitting to our relationship...It's from the movie Shrek.

There is something that I see
In the way you look at me
There's a smile, there's a truth in your eyes

But an unexpected way
On this unexpected day
Could it mean this is where I belong
It is you I have loved all along

It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved all along

There were times I ran to hide
Afraid to show the other side
Alone in the night without you

But now I know just who you are
And I know you hold my heart
Finally this is where I belong
It is you I have loved all along

It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved all along

Over and over
I'm filled with emotion
Your love, it rushes through my veins

And I am filled
With the sweetest devotion
As I, I look into your perfect face

It's no more mystery
It is finally clear to me
You're the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved
It is you I have loved
It is you I have loved all along
