Dan and Jen’s Blog

To us. That’s right, we celebrated our FIFTH anniversary a few weeks ago (5/7). Thanks to some awesome friends from church coming over to watch Dinah, Dan and I got to go to Shogun for dinner (delicious!) and though we *were* going to have an educational IMAX experience of the Hubble space telescope at the Louisville Science Center, we decided to cow-tow to our mainstream American urges and go see Iron Man 2 instead. It was thoroughly entertaining. We could tell we have a little JujuBee and that we live in a small apartment because when the first action sequence started, we were like “OH!, turn it down!. . .wait.”

On to the mushy stuff. I can’t believe we’ve been married five years! It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long, but it still feels like a major accomplishment. I definitely love Dan more than I did on that day and am so grateful for his godly leadership and love. He is sooooo patient with me as we continue to learn to be married and grow in sanctifying one another. He’s completely and totally my best friend. There are so many times when Dan, Dinah, and I are hanging out and he makes me laugh so much and I’m completely thrilled that she gets to see that. When we kiss and hug in front of her, it makes her really happy.

We decided to start some traditions for our anniversary besides going out: we’re going to watch our wedding video, look at our pictures, and talk about when we dated and got married. We don’t want to forget anything! This is ironic, because we forgot to do everything that we decided. But we’ll do it next year!
