five years

five years... it seems like it's been longer. and i mean that in a good way. i don't really remember what single life was like. i can't remember what it was like to get a good night's sleep in a bed by myself. it's been a lot easier than i ever thought it would be too, probably because mary is such a patient and forgiving person.

my best memories of marriage:

• spur-of-the-moment trip to six-flags instead of going to mary's parents house
• sleeping on an air-mattress at my mom's house... for six months
• paris, brussels, new york, minneapolis, san francisco, houston, los angeles, san diego, etc. (we've been spoiled)
• doorbell-ditching the fat, noisy upstairs neighbor
• sunday drives
• dinner "creations"
• sucking at playing tennis
• getting fried at the beach
• sluffing work to play guitar hero and star-wars legos all day

these are just a few of the good times i've had being married. thanks for being such an awesome wife, mary. thanks for being such a great mom. i can't imagine my life without you, sweetie!
