5 Years

Today is our 5 year wedding anniversary. We were married on Thursday, June 26, 2003 at 3:40 p.m. in the Salt Lake Temple. It was a perfect day and we loved sharing it with our family and friends. After the ceremony we had a dinner and program at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and an open house the next day in Rexburg. We had beautiful weather and an awesome honeymoon to Upstate New York. I can't believe how quickly 5 years has gone by. Here's a quick recap.
  • We have moved 5 times, owned two homes, and lived in two different states.
  • We have had (almost) 3 kids
  • We have been to the emergency room 2 times and the instacare at least 6 times.
  • Andrew has been employed at Jacobsen for five years and worked on over 30 different projects totaling over 200 million dollars!
  • Amber taught 40 sixth graders.
  • We bought a tent trailer and have been camping 0ver 20 times.
  • Between the two of us, we have gained 80 lbs!
  • Amber finished her graduate degree.
  • We have held 10 different church callings.
  • We have been on 5 awesome vacations.
  • We have completed over 20 home improvement projects.
  • We have cooked dozens of dutch oven dinners.
  • We have purchased six vehicles!
  • We have changed countless diapers.
  • We have been extremely blessed and love each other more now than we did five years ago.
  • We can't wait for the adventures of the next five years! I love you honey!
