9 years ago today, I did not know you. I did, however, have a blind date planned with a guy named R 2 weeks later on 2/21/98.8 years ago today, it had been 3 weeks since I sold my house in Columbus, GA and moved to Atlanta to be closer to you while you completed residency at Emory. We broke up 6 weeks later.
7 years ago today, we were still broken up.
6 years ago today, we had just gone on our first re-date (the night before) after almost 2 years apart.
5 years ago today, we were married in a beautiful ceremony in Atlanta, surrounded by people we loved--full of hope for the future.
4 years ago today, it was snowing outside our apartment in Charlottesville, Virginia as we celebrated our first anniversary of marriage.
3 years ago today, we found out the genders of the triplets I was carrying, by virtue of our 16 week ultrasound.
2 years ago today, we were the exhausted bleary-eyed parents of 8 1/2 month old triplets. We were still recovering from the shock of all the twists and turns of life we had experienced in our 3 short years of marriage.
1 year ago today, we enjoyed a lovely candlelit dinner at a nearby resort. As we arrived, snowflakes were falling.
Today we celebrate 5 years of marriage with the closing of our "old family home" where we hope to spend at least 50 more anniversaries together. Today I am even more full of hope for the future because I have had 5 years of confirmation that you are not the man I fell in love with--you are so much more.
I am so glad you & I are in this crazy, wonderful life together!

Happy Anniversary to the perfect couple!! By perfect, I mean perfect for each other. And here's to 50 plus more years together. James and I will be celebrating 10 years in March. I can hardly wait to see where God takes us during the next 5o years.
Happy Anniversary! That is so sweet!

Happy Anniversary to you both! We celebrate our 6 year tomorrow on the 10th. And like you, have vowed to never let Valentine's Day overcome our anniversary. It's been pretty easy for us to follow too. You have such special markers for each of your anniversaries. Hope you all have many, many more!
Happy Anniversary!! I am very excited for you both. Good luck with your closing today and I will see you soon.
I Love You Both,
