Married for 5 Years

Sunday marks 5 years since Jase and I got married on the breathtaking Kapalua Bay beach on Maui.  We celebrated Friday night with a DATE!  Woo Hoo!  We tried out our new sitter (who was WONDERFUL) by having a delicious dinner at Hy's Steakhouse in Waikiki.  Hy's is a prime beef steakhouse so we were VERY excited.  It was delicious, don't get me wrong but I know when we go back to Texas we are going to be in heaven the first time we eat steak.  This was Kansas City beef, I had to ask of course. 
 I love being Jase's wife and after 5 years I am confident that the Lord paired us together for a reason.  He knew I needed someone who was willing to put up with my stubborness and someone who was forgiving.  I have learned so much about myself in these 5 years.  It blows my mind to think of all we have been through in 5 years.  We've lived in 3 different states, done an Iraq deployment, the birth of our son, a submarine deployment and countless underways, the birth of our daughter, and the fun just continues.  I love our marriage and our life and I look forward to many more years and adventures together.  I love this man more everyday and I still feel like a silly, giddy teenager everytime he walks through the door. 
 My thoughtful husband actually looked up that wood signifies a 5 year wedding anniversary.  He got me a Pandora bracelet (which I have been wanting forever) with 3 different wooden beads, one with his birthstone and one with Addie Mae's birthstone (they were out of Harlon's and mine, HA!) I LOVE IT!
 On the way home we stopped and took our traditional picture together.  I cropped it so you can't see Jase's arm holding the camera out, HA!
