The 5th Year

Saturday, June 21st, was our 5th anniversary. Five years have flown by and it seems like yesterday that we were just in Palmetto getting married and trying to survive through the constant rain. Due to the fact that we have 2 young children we weren't planning on really getting to celebrate the big day, but Lauren called on Friday and offered to come up to babysit the girls for us and we gladly accepted her offer. We went to a fun restaurant called, The Station House, where the waiters all take turns singing on a stage. Some sang in groups and some sang solos and they sang all kinds of music from southern gospel, to oldies, to contemporary songs. They also give you so much food. We had such a good time thinking about how far we've come in 5 years. When we came home Lauren told us that she'd had a little bit of a rough time with the girls...Bailey wouldn't take a bottle, and Emma Catherine wouldn't go to bed, so she may not offer to babysit again, but we were thankful for the night out this time. Below I've posted a couple of wedding pictures...we were such babies.

you look SO beautiful! I can't believe it's been five years! CONGRATULATIONS! You should have told Lauren to put Baileys pjs on backwards.... then everything would have fallen into place.
