Cheers to 5 Years!

So I have not written on this thing in quite sometime and alot has happened since my last post. But tonight I felt the need to write a little something because I am feeling so very blessed and at peace with where God has me right now in the crazy busy life! Two weeks ago we welcomed our second baby boy!!! Wow...2 boys...and to top it off Andrew Joseph was born in Vince's and my Anniversay month (which this year is lucky number 5) As Vince and I lay in bed at 2AM this morning with Drew WIDE AWAKE in the middle of us (don't think he was feeling very well...tiny is fighting a cold) Vince looked at me and said with tired eyes and smile..."Happy Five year Anniversary baby" It was in that moment that I was overcome with joy and SO much love for him and everything we have created together in the last 5 years...including the two beautiful little baby boys God has blessed us with! Alot has happened to us and our relationship over the last 5 years...teaching credentials and masters degree, to the Sheriff's Academy and patrol training, to buying a house, and the births of our two boys! We have sure had our trials and ups and downs but through it all we have each other and the love that we share...a love that truly grows stronger with each passing year! Vince and I were able to share an amazing dinner with each other tonight (accompanied with a raspberry martini for me : ) and as we said "CHEERS to 5 YEARS" I couldn't help but think of our sweet Mr. man Brode and how he loves to do "CHEERS" with you every night at dinner...him and his Cars sippy cup! What a simple reminder of the amazing gifts God has blessed both Vince and I with over these last 5 years! I cannot wait to see what God has in store for us this next year...and the many many years after that!!! CHEERS to the years to come!!!!
