Our 5th Anniversary

Saturday, April 14th, my hubby and I celebrated 5 years of marriage.

5 years...WOW!!!

It doesn't seem like 5 years have already past by, but then again, I feel like I've know Robby all my life.  I can't picture my life without him.  He's helped me grow in so many ways, esp spiritually.  He's my rock.  Whenever I am having a hard time it usually only takes him to wrap me up in those arms and I start to feel better.  There's something so peaceful and loving about those arms.  I can't explain the feeling, but every time I'm in them...sigh...I just love it :)  Another thing that is so neat is some times just touching him on his arm, shoulder, hand, back, etc, helps me feel better.  It's definitely a spiritual thing, because it's hard to explain.  That's what I love most about our relationship, our spiritual connection.  We both love God so much and are seeking His will every day.  We're not perfect by any means, but we're trying.  God's been teaching us so much over the past 5 years and I wouldn't want to do this with anyone else.  God, thank you for this man. 

♥ I am truly blessed to have him in my life. ♥

I've been looking at some of our wedding photos the past few days, and my lovely sister, Melissa edited a few for me.  I think one day I will get her to edit all of them.  I hate to brag, but my sister is awesome! haha She's so talented with taking pictures and doing photoshop.  

Check out her blog sometime.

 

We started off Saturday by doing some work to get ready for our sweet cow.  This has all been really tough work and a bit stressful, 

but it's going to be so worth it!  

Mom, Melissa, and Dad cooked us a yummy late lunch, early dinner.  

Per our request: 

Cheeseburgers with french fries and sweet potato fries 

Homemade buns. Trust me, they tasted as good as they look!

Daddy grilled these for us.
Mmmmmmmm my mouth is watering again just looking at them!

Delicious sweet potato fries.  Melissa sliced them up and Mom fried them.

French fries.  Again Melissa sliced them, Mom cooked them. Yummy, yum, yum!!!

Please excuse my roughness.  I was working hard outside until time to eat =P
At least Robby looks adorable ♥

♥ So in love ♥

Giving Robby his gift.
Yes, we got into our pjs after that hard work haha

He was surprised =D

haha! I love this!

I got him those family stickers you put on your car.
He's wanted them forever and I finally decided to get him some!
I thought we'd put it on our car, but nope,
he wants them on his work van. hehe
♥ ♥ ♥ I just love him ♥ ♥ ♥

I think I was a little excited lol

Awesome! Pink work gloves and glasses!!
I've needed some really bad.
May not seem like a typical anniversary gift, but I love it!

Bullitt always wants paper or bubble wrap haha He loves tearing it up.
The funniest thing is when he gets bubble wrap.
He uses his front teeth to pop each bubble.
I'm not making this up! He's such a goofball.

Again with my over excitement, geez louise haha
I just love the look on my hubby's face though *le sigh*

I love this picture.  I've been wanting this movie for several months.
What a fantastic surprise!!!

Now the best part of this day was our "camping" trip!!!

Instead of traveling somewhere and wasting gas, 

we just parked on our property. 

I forgot to take a picture of the van down there, but that's our spot =)
It was sooo nice.

Also, since the ground is so not level with them farming, and there are still stobs from the cotton being harvested last fall, it would be hard to pitch a tent.  Instead I had an idea about making Robby's van into a tent!  We both loved it!  Not only was it super cozy, it was very comfy because it was our mattress in there hehe

Isn't this awesome?! I can't wait to do it again!

The ceiling.  That sucker wasn't easy hehe

Getting us water to take "camping".

Mom and Melissa made us brownie cookies, oatmeal cookies, and popcorn.
We got this basket from the place we got married, Colonial Country Club.
They had put extra food in it for us to take to the hotel.
Melissa fixed this up with what they made, napkins, and fresh milk. Yum!  

 This was one of the most enjoyable things Robby and I have ever done.  We set the laptop up on the cooler at the end of the bed and watched Mr. Deeds & Finding Neverland 
while eating our cookies and popcorn. 

You could hear the wind blowing through the trees when we started falling asleep. It was so peaceful.  
Seriously the best camping trip I've ever had!

The after math haha  See the opening in the front?  We kept it like that with the front windows open and the back doors cracked open a bit.
That let a nice breeze come through.

  

I'm so thankful for this time I got to spend with just my Robby Hood.  
It was a perfect way to spend our 5th anniversary.

I will never forget it.
