This time five years ago HUBBY and I made our union official and were married at the National Gallery of Australia.

Five years seems like a major milestone, but both of us have been really blase about it.  We had a hard year last year and it really tested us.  But we bounced back and now I feel like we’re stronger than ever.

It’s amazing how every day brings something new.  Just when you think there’s nothing more you can learn something funny happens.  Everyday is a mini adventure.  It’s wonderful.  I’m a big advocate for a good marriage; which is what I think we have.

Case in point, I woke up the other day and headed for my morning (afternoon by the time I woke) shower to find this message written in bathroom crayon. (No, we don’t have kids. Yes, I have bathroom crayons. No, you can’t borrow them.)  It cheered me up immensely and made me do the “Awwww…” thing.

He is my best friend.  He is the first person I want to talk to.  He is the person I look to for comfort and advice.  He is the one that holds all my secrets as if they were his own.  He’s the one that lets me constantly touch him inappropriately.  He’s the one that laughs as loud as I do about fart jokes.  He’s my everything and I am one very lucky gnome to have him in my life.  Happy anniversary Baby, I love you to binoculars!
