Five Years!

Today is our 5th wedding anniversary. We both are excited about celebrating such a milestone. Being married for 5 years is kind of like turning 30. When I was in my early 20s, I saw being 30 as a long way off and quite old whereas now, being 32 I don't feel that way at all. So it goes with this anniversary. 5 years is a big deal and before you get married 5 or 10 years of marriage seems so far off - you're really just concerned about getting married and enjoying the excitement that comes along with it. Now that we've been married for 5 years, it doesn't feel like its been all that long. It still feels like we're just getting started. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that we have no children, we don't own a house and we've moved around a bit. Who knows? All I know is that being married to Andrey is better than I could have ever imagined it would be. There's no one on this earth I'd rather spend time with.
Tonight we'll be celebrating by going to a nice restaurant overlooking the ocean. Next weekend we are going away for 3 nights to a nearby island to stay in a simple cottage on a quiet, white sand beach. Ooh, I love an excuse to drink champagne. Maybe this is one of them.
