five years

on november 19 josh & i celebrated our five-year wedding anniversary!  we dined at andina, one of our favorite portland restaurants.  incredible peruvian food.  it was a perfect dining experience, complete with connected conversation as we reminisced about our past ten years of friendship, and mused + dreamed of our future.  life together has been beautiful, growing, & a grand adventure, as well!  

we had planned to leave the kids at mike & marti's (josh's parents) house in seattle for a night the following weekend so we could head to a bed & breakfast.  but as the day approached it became clear that shepherd wouldn't be ready for that yet.  instead, we took advantage of extended-family togetherness, and played games & ate pizza with our seattle family.  

on our way out of town we took the kids to golden gardens, where josh & i got engaged.  here we are, now five years later, a family of four!
