Guess who got married 5 years ago today? We did. It was a really great day. I've said a number of times that I want to re-do the day because I had so much fun, and it's still true. Who doesn't want to get dressed up, eat good food, party your pants off, be with friends and family, and be super over-the-top happy because you just married the bomb dot com?

It's been five years and I still think Seth is the bomb dot com. I really do feel lucky every day that we got married. I just gave a lesson in Young Women about marriage standards. The lesson suggested to talk about writing a list of qualities the girls would like in a future spouse. While I am generally anti-list when it comes to choosing a spouse (because I think people go a little overboard and have crazy-impossible-unacheivable requirements) and told them to make sure their list wasn't a description of a perfect person (because doi, they don't exist), but someone who'd be perfect for them. Someone who could complement them in the areas where they have weaknesses. Seth is absolutely perfect for me. I'm going to pat our marriage on the back and say that I think we balance each other out quite nicely actually. I probably shouldn't admit it, but I really am proud of our marriage. I feel like we really are happy and I feel like that's okay to be proud of.

In the past 5 years we have:

Lived in 3 states
Moved 4 times
Bought 1 condo
Sold 1 car
Had 2 babies
Graduated from college (me)
Graduated from medical school (him)
Traveled to lots of places, both home and abroad


And since this post is already all about us, check out the sappy montage I made. If you want to tug at Seth's heartstrings, all you gotta do is put together some pictures set to music. Gets him every time.
