Five Years

Our five year wedding anniversary happened to fall on the Friday of our week at camp. Joel was such a romantic - he planned a wonderful day! As all the campers were lined up outside the dining hall waiting for breakfast, he got everyone's attention and had my dad read from 1 Corinthians 13 and say a few words. Then Joel pulled me up and said some vows in front of everyone! I cried! It was so thoughtful!

Then during naptime, Joel arranged for my grandma to stay at the cabin while the boys were sleeping, and the two of us went kayaking! It was a beautiful afternoon to spend on the lake!


Then he arranged for his parents to watch the boys for a couple hours so that we could go out for supper together (just the two of us!!! eating!!! not cutting anyone's food or entertaining a baby or trying to keep a 2 year old from having a tantrum in the restaurant!!!).

We ended the night with these Betty Crocker microwave delights in our cabin. The bobcat definitely added to the romantic atmosphere!

It was such a perfect day to spend celebrating our anniversary at the place where Joel proposed. Thank you Lord for 5 amazing years together!
