Five Years!!!

Five years ago today was one of the best days of our lives! Derek and I had our wedding party. It was everything we hoped it would be and more. Our three months of whirlwind planning all came together to produce the perfect day for us. I fee like five years of marriage is a pretty big milestone. We have had so many wonderful adventures in the past five years. But even more in the 12 years we've been a couple. I pulled out some of my favorite photos of our wedding to look back on and reminisce. This is just another reason why I love this time of year so much.












Dear Derek Riley,

Happy 5 year anniversary! I'm so happy to spend every single day with you. I've loved our journey as a couple so much. From awkward teens with braces, to "we-think-we're-hip-college-students", to young adults with our first "real" jobs, to newly weds with our first apartment, to home owners renovating our brick house, to parents of a tiny newborn, to a married couple with 2 (almost) kids. I've loved every single stage of our relationship. But this is the best. It really keeps getting better and better. I love our friendship and I thank God for it every day.

Love you so much,

Steph
