Five years ago (on Saturday) I married my best friend and high school sweetheart. We have been through so much together over the last years (totaling 11 1/2 if you count the years that we dated), I put the emphasis on together as we have been side by side in this marriage the entire time. We strive to keep God at the center of our marriage knowing that He will bind us together and only strengthen our relationship.
During our years together but more importantly in the many to come I strive to be a wife that measures up to the wife described in Proverbs 31. "...Her husband can trust her and she will greatly enrich his life. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life." (v11-12) "She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future." (v25) "When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness" (v26)
It was not only our 5 year anniversary but also the day that our little guy turned 6 months old, so to celebrate we traveled a little to visit a zoo that we have always enjoyed going to. (We have always enjoyed going to zoos so this was not a choice made just for Andrew). Here are some photos from our celebration trip...
Andrew's attention was caught by anything that was really active.
Here he is watching the orangutangs swinging in their trees.
His preferred mode of transportation that day.
Have to be able to see everything.
Watching those silly penguins swimming.
Picnic in the back of the van for lunch.
So much more fun and memories than buying food from the park vendors
