Five Years of Happy Chaos!

Aaron and I were just talking this morning about how quickly these past five years of marriage have FLOWN by. It actually feels like maybe a couple months or days have passed

I remember thinking five years sounded so long. Especially after a handful of ridiculously short relationships. I knew I wanted to marry and be married to Aaron forever, but WOW was that thought overwhelming!

Now that we've hit five years and its felt SO easy, I am so excited for what's to come.

"What have Aaron and Kelly done in five years?" you curiously ask.

Well, I shall tell you:

- We bought a house two months after we got married (Oct '04)
- Then, happily worked and saved money, and spent money, for the next year ('05 ish)
- Bought an already running, popular café, and quit a few jobs (Sep '05)
- Coached a few soccer teams (Sep '05 and beyond)
- Decided we weren't busy enough, and got prego (not the sauce) (Oct '05)
- Aaron enjoyed taking his pregnant wife to Vegas (May '06)
- Had a whopper. Only by whopper, I mean baby boy (Aug '06)
- Sold house moved into teeny apartment above café (Oct '06)
- Worked, lots. During naptime, during Grandma time...
- Smelled soup through floor (all the time)
- Got pregnant, then miscarried in week 4 (Sep '07)
- Ignored doctor, got pregnant again. (Oct '07)
- Got asked constantly if I was having twins (constantly)
- Aaron got to enjoy not being pregnant, but gave me lots of backrubs (constantly)
- Committed to being Young Life leaders (Summer '08)
- Had teeny baby (Aug '08)
- Coached more
- Aaron committed to being the Blaine Young Life team leader!
- ...and Voila, we're here in Aug '09, with an almost-1 and almost-3 year old!

"Whoa." You say.

"Yes, I know."

But you know, I wouldn't change a single thing. I don't believe in sitting around and waiting for things to happen, as lovely and peaceful as that sounds. I can rest when I'm 70. Unless I'm playing pro soccer.
