Five Years of Togetherness

Adam and I celebrated the anniversary of our first date yesterday. It may seem a little cheesy to still recognize it now that we're married, but I think it's quite romantic! I cannot believe 5 years has gone by since our first 'tester' date back at 17 and 18! We've been so many places, had so many life changes and challenges-and we're stronger and happier than we've ever been! We celebrated by a night out at our favorite Sushi restaurant, Piranhas. Adam also surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of my favorite flower, pink roses. :) We spent most of our dinner talking about all we've done together; all of our adventurous travels, our big move to the Metroplex (almost 3 years ago!),all the personal changes we've experienced and grown from, our amazing engagement story and fairytale wedding! We also talked allot about all the magic to come for us; what we want for us in the next year, our vision for starting a family, and where we'd like our careers to take us. Saturday will also be our 6 month wedding anniversary! I remember in elementary and high school, time seemed to creep by. A six week period was half an eternity, and 6 months unfathomable! Now, time runs away faster than we can blink. A year of marriage will be in our past soon, and we'll be together, another year older. How is it some people get to be so lucky?

Half A Decade of "Kait & Adam"

Above is a picture of Adam and I back at our high school graduation. Why the vintage picture? Today marks an anniversary most people would no longer celebrate. April 9th has long been the day Adam and I have celebrated each year as our anniversary, and since we're married now, you would think we'd stop, but we think it's fun to have both. Two different celebrations! Most of you know, that Adam and I met back in middle school at church, contrary to what he answered while we were on "The Married Game" back in October, we have been friends since about 1998. Our senior year of high school, the month before graduation, my friend who was tutoring me in Calculus, began dating a friend of mine. They were a terrible fit, and honestly she had a reputation for using guys like Adam after being dumped by jerks, and then getting back with them. We talked more that month, then ever before and decided to go "hangout alone." We both say now this was our "tester" date, though neither of us would call it that then. Viola! The date that started at 7pm lasted for hours and hours, and we've been inseparable since! Here's to five years of Adam and Kaitlin-ness!!!

5 years and 6 months

Today, Adam and I have been together 5 years, and married 3 days shy of 6 months!!!! Time has flown by so quickly. I feel like we've been together both 10 years and only a few months....

I feel like this is still us:



Where has all the time gone?! I couldn't ask for a better person to pass the years with though-even if they all will go racing away. We spent our night at our favorite restaurant, Piranhas Killer Sushi and just went crazy!

I love this man!!!

House Update

I had posted a couple weeks ago, some pictures of our house here in Fort Worth. We have since painted! Hurrah! So, here are some pictures of the changes around our sweet abode. :)

Pizzazz & Tang....In the Rain

Yet another pizazzless week...well, pizazz here and there -but not enough to leave a permanent smile on my face. Adam is actually on my computer room floor right now...making googly noises w/Dutchess (our Boston Terrier)...yes, that's what it has come to. Just a second ago he was sprawled out practically throwing a tantrum about the rain....This is sad, too much rain....it's hard to be excited about anything while it's raining.

Rain is best described by Adam- "it's not quite pizazz, not quite tang...but in the middle.....the 'blah'" - ain't it the truth...
[okay, so i guess it's time for a little bit of background informtion]

----pizzazz & tang-----we were tired of the same 'ole same 'ole - we needed to spice things up, we needed pizzazz -and the word came out, and it fit, so perfectly! About a second later we see a girl trip up the stairs -something completely out of the norm- and it was wonderful...i guess the best description of pizzazz would be as- the little sparkly things when you press on your eyes really hard. However, there is tang - tang is the complete opposite of pizzazz. For example, when that girl fell up the stairs - that was pizzazz for innocent bystanders, but bitter tang for that girl - tang is a nerd blizzard from dairy queen - it's that weird taste that gives your tongue goosebumps....Life has shown us that there must be an equal balance of these two figures....so that's the background of pizzazz and tang - just so you're alllllll clued in! hah

...anywho....this rain nonsense....maybe pizzazz is not able to be wet, we may never know...all i know is - summer is coming up, in fact it's like at our fingertips- and this no tang or no pizzazz stuff is gonna have to stop....the "blah" stage sucks.

by the way...Adam is still on the floor....i think he has recovered though. *sigh* soon i will leave my haven at the computer, together we will search for our lost pizzazz....it's probably hiding, probably afraid of storms....

Just leave it up to the rebers...and pizzazz will be restored. ;)



HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
