5 Years and Counting...

(Just two young (but also pretty old) kids in love in 2006)


Today is our 5 year anniversary. I guess people refer to this one as "wood" but I read on the Google that the five year anniversary has been updated to "silverware". So please, to celebrate with us, leave any unwanted/used/old/unwashed spoons and forks at our front door. Thank you for celebrating this momentous occasion with us.

For Cory's anniversary gift, I've been compiling all of our emails of our courtship. You know, because emails are the modern day love letter. Emails of when we met didn't exist because the interweb wasn't invented then. I think we must have communicated via Pony Express between Orem and Santaquin.

I'm 126 pages in to the cutting and pasting. I haven't had time to read the bulk of them, but so far my take on these emails is:

1) I now remember why we both worked 12-14 hour days during August 2005 and February 2006. Because we were emailing for 4.5 hours of each day.

2) We love inappropriate humor. Which gives me second thoughts about compiling these into a printed format that posterity may one day stumble upon.

3) Man, I love this guy. Then and now I'm head over heels for him.

I found a list of goals we put together:

February 4, 2006: move Jenna to Phoenix

April 2006: get married

2008: Have a baby

2034: Fly to the moon


We are right on track! I love you Cory Leon. Never in a billion years will the fact be lost on me that we are so lucky to be together. You are the mate to my soul. The freckles in our eyes are mirror images, I would follow you into the dark, and so on and so forth accentuated with Ben Gibbard lyrics.
