The First Five Years

Six years ago today I went on a first date with some girl from church:

We had a good time so we did some other fun stuff:

That all went well enough so we decided to get engaged:

And then five years ago today, we went ahead and got married because why not?

A good time was had by all:

So we decided to keep the party going:

And then we bought a house:

And then we thought, hey, we're doing a pretty good job of things with this old dog (rest in peace, Ali):

Why not try our hand at parenting and stuff?

And that's how we got this little booger:

And the beat goes on:

Lindsey and I are not the sappy Facebook post types and clearly we enjoy making jokes about each other in public settings more than anything else. But let me just take the occasion of our fifth anniversary to say how incredibly blessed I am to be able to spend my life with such an amazing wife and wonderful mom. We've had a pretty darn good run so here's to 50 more years and at least one more decent dog to carry on in Ali's footsteps.

Blessed beyond measure, Brian
