five years

I am writing this post after drinking far too much champagne. I have good reason though, I do. it's my anniversary! Five years today. We watched our wedding video tonight, I cried, like always (i may have seen a tear in Chuck's eye too). we are so glad to have it. We picked up cheap burritos and expensive champagne to celebrate the night, but first the day...





it was trick or treat day in town, all the downtown merchants passed out candy to children dressed in costume...



i ran out of candy after only an hour, there were a LOT of children!




i did manage to save some for my grandbabies, sigh sigh sigh, here is sadie the little bug and travis a scary monster (he graciously removed his mask for my photo request).





after work ( and all the halloween fun) Chuck and I went up to the Alpaca farm to buy some more lovely wool, i have some gifts to make...






this one couldn't stop kissing my husband, heehee.





at home Chuck was anxious for me to open my gift from him. the light wasn't good for photos, especially if all you have is candlelight (and champagne) so i'll have to write another post about the surprise, it really deserves a place of honor. he bought me a piece of art, art that a friend of mine made. i am so touched that he (and she) did this without me knowing. i can't wait to take photos of it. i have one more BIG surprise that happened tonight, but maybe i ought to find out if it's okay before i put it here. but oh my, what a day!


Happy Anniversary honey, thank you for these last five years, i can't wait for the next 5 times forever more.

    I just LOVE your wedding video, can look at it again and again! Especially that hop on the beach, you are like a yound foal, as a mother of five, and grandma of two!
    That alpaka, haha, can`t take her snout off your husband, hey? But no wonder, he is such a handsome man. Happy Halloween, I got myself lots of candy, too. Seeing al those little monsters coming to my door is the best part! Happy anniversary, and yes, many, many more!

    Even I cried watching the video! And with Iz playing, he always moves me to tears.
    What a gorgeous couple. You two are brimming with love.

    Congrats to both of you for celebrating five married years, but mostly for always celebrating each other. Your life reminds me that anything is possible.

    I love your family!
