Today we celebrate being married 5 years! A lot has happened since 2006, but we're still chuggin' along. The traditional gift for a 5 year wedding anniversary is wood, to symbolize the strength in your relationship. I had big plans ... I went to the local nursery and picked out a snow crab apple tree and was going to have them bring it home and plant it, a surprise of course. We have been talking about planting a tree in our new house, and I thought this would be a perfect opportunity. We have also wanted to start a new prayer tree here, and the trees that came with the house are super big and mature, we can't even reach the branches! Unfortunately, the location where I wanted to put it didn't work out so well, so I had to spill the beans to Ryan and get his opinion on placement. After talking it through, we decided that right now it is an expense we cannot afford. But it was a good idea, right??
Here are some pictures from our wedding. We anticipated a beautiful fall day in the bluffs of La Crosse, WI for our outdoor wedding. To our surprise, it was 30 degrees and had flurries! We've had many comment over the years about how they'll never forget our wedding - I bet it's because they were sitting outside freezing their butts off!
