Five Year Wedding Anniversary - 10/10/08

So we had the best of intentions over the weekend to post some pictures from our wedding to mark our 5 year wedding anniversary but it just didn't happen. (Maybe it could still happen but I will not make any promises.) Lots of things have happened in five years since we were married and here is a list of just a couple things:

• We have both had three jobs.
• We have lived in two apartments and owed our first home.
• We have lived in two different cities.
• We finally broke down and bought "grown up" bedroom furniture.
• We have had four cars in the last four years. We had to buy two right when we moved here since we had none in Chicago - one was totaled by a semi and one Jeff sold to the nice construction worker down the street. The other two we still own. :)
• Most of our very close friends have also made moves that have brought all of us closer - our good friends Tina and Jason live on the same street as us after moving from WI, our friends Brian and Keri have moved here from CA (just a few miles from us), Kent and Jo have moved here from MI and Grant and Alex have moved to Omaha (3 hours) from Utah.
• We still have our two cats - Norman (13yrs) and Xena (12yrs) - and they are slowly becoming grumpy old cats. Actually they only get grumpy if we stop petting them - and lets be totally realistic here - it's just Norman.

Jeff and I have been together since 1994. We have lived in four cities together, moved 8 times, have had some really great jobs in all of those cities and have made some really great friends everywhere we have gone. We have been truly blessed in our life together, supported by great friends and great family, and we look forward to many many many more years together.

Thanks to all of you for being there through it all! Much love to you all - Anne and Jeff
