We celebrated our 6th anniversary on Sunday, May 3rd! It was a great day. We went to a couple of our favorite restaurants for breakfast and dinner, worshipped God at church, and Dan played roller hockey (he scored a goal and his team won, 5-3). We're hoping to drive up to King's Canyon and Giant Sequoia National Parks during Memorial Day weekend to celebrate some more. (As far as we're concerned, it's not a real party unless it involves a road trip!!) On one hand, it's impossible to believe that 6 years have already gone by! But we've experienced so much together, that on the other hand it feels like we've been married forever. We've finished 4 master's degrees, led an apartment ministry, traveled at least half of the country while living in a camping tent, made amazing friends in several states, changed careers/jobs, lost loved ones, welcomed new members to our extended family, moved from the mountains of CO to the beaches in CA, vacationed overseas, rented 6 different apartments, and the list goes on. Life definitely hasn't been boring! :)
Some people say we haven't changed a bit since our wedding day, but we know we have. God has blessed us in amazing ways and given us challenges that we know we couldn't have handled except by His grace. He's constantly teaching us new and deeper truths about Himself and as our trust in Him grows, our relationship with each other gets better and better. It's amazing the difference it makes when we run to God with our problems, worries, and gratitude instead of trying to handle everything on our own. And if one of us forgets, the other is quick with a reminder!
We're so thankful for each other and the fun and loving relationship we have. Here's to many more years and adventures together!

6 years is very noteworthy and you are a wonderful couple. Too bad you ran out of church so fast, I still have your book.
Happy Anniversary! I can't believe its been 6 years since we all came out to Colorado for your wedding! I'm so happy for you guys!
I love this post!!!! I have friends who are already divorced and it makes me so sad to see this. So, when I see other couples committed and ready to stay together for life, it just makes me happy. We laughingly say, "We are not going to be a statistic!!" So here is to 60 more years of marriage!!!! Love ya girl!!!!
here, here! CHEERS!!!
Amazing--Happy Anniversary! It definitely doesn't seem like 6 years to me either. Love you guys!
Happy Anniversary! Cheers to many more years of wedded bliss!
