5 Years Ago Today!

Five years ago, we decided to converge our lives and start a new adventure... family hood! And with the start of that adventure, we choose to dictate our "wedding" in our own style and manner. The actually wedding day was a very simple one. On top of Torrey Pines cliff overlooking the ocean, it was a scenic blend of Ryan's mountaineering ways and my love of the surf and sea. With a few close friends as witnesses and very pretty flowers, our lives converged.

Our "wedding" really was more than just this one day. We had fun going about wedding festivities in a non-traditional manner, with three separate parties/dinners. We tricked our friends into thinking they were celebrating a bon-voyage party.. cause you know..we have always wanted to go see Africa, only to have them play trivia games and surprising the with the "real" celebration. We had two dinner parties for the family where each affair was just right... no set itinerary, just casual time with the family. I may be biased, but even to this day, our wedding/festivities stand out as being the best wedding I've ever been to. =)

Five years of having the best and challenging life adventure (kids and such) with the best partner in crime that allows me to be me (with full neurosis and compulsive obsessiveness).. and eats mostly what I cook!
