Cinco Anos con mi Amor

It's hard to believe how fast 5 years fly by. George and I were married five years ago (and a month) today. I love that man so much.

August 2006 is when I first started liking George (on his birthday actually-although I didn't know it at the time!). We had been set up on our first date a year prior, but never actually went out. That is another story in itself. George invited me to hike up Mount Timpanogos, starting at 10 p.m. so we could enjoy the sunrise on top of the mountain in the morning. My little sister and another one of George's friends were on the hike. We climbed the mountain and made it to the top early so we decided to wait around for the sunrise. We were all sweaty from hiking and the wind was howling on the ridge line, so we were FREEZING! There was a small tin shelter so the four of us hunkered down together to wait for the sunrise. Turns out the sunrise wasn't even that impressive, haha, but I thought George was pretty impressive and it was a fun hike :)

The picture above is the last picture I have with me and George in it, haha. I forgot to even take one on our anniversary. We got to enjoy a day in Orlando visiting the temple and eating delicious Greek food. It was wonderful to spend some quality time with my main man. Thank you Sarita for watching our little boys.

Well that was fun for me to look through some old photos! Lots of good memories, and many more to make. Since George and I have met we've been all over the map. Our song is 'Would You Go With' Me by Josh Turner - very fitting for our relationship :) I feel so blessed to be married to George and more than happy to 'go with him'! ._
