5

5.

"5" has been a very significant number these days.  Recently, my husband and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary.  Crazy how fast five years fly by.  To celebrate our wedding anniversary, we decided to buy a house!  This is where the number "5" comes in again; we've lived in our house for five years.  These last five years in our cute, little bungalow has filled our hearts with so many joyful memories:

-Moving into the house in the cute little neighborhood with our then dog, Riley, who is now buried in our backyard.
-Chasing Riley in our neighbors' yards when she got off the leash!

-The many bump pictures I took by our handmade chalkboard in the kitchen.

-Bringing little Owen home for the first time.
-Riley passing in my husband's arms in the living room.
-Owen learning how to walk.
-Bringing our new puppy, Lucy home.
-Watching Owen and Lucy nap together in Owen's room.

-Bringing Miles home.
-Christmas time- the beauty of the Christmas tree in our front window.

-The rustic fall leaves brightening up the historic neighborhood.
-Walks to our favorite ice cream shop, through the local college, and down to the Farmer's Market.

Our house could not have served us better.  It was only a little house, in a quaint neighborhood, but man, it meant the world to us.
