Happy 5th Anniversary

This last Saturday was our fifth wedding anniversary. I cannot believe it has already been five years. Around home that seems like nothing. All of our friends are coming up on five years or have already passed it. However, of my college friends, I'm one of the few that's married and the only with kids! Two kids. That seems so mature. Five years ago when I looked at the people who were 27 and had two kids that sure did seem old to me.
When we were leaving for Quincy this weekend (we stayed at a hotel with the kids to celebrate our anniversary), Michael asked me if I would drink Mt. Dew. I just remember thinking, after five years you don't know what kind of soda I like...and then I think about all the things I don't know about him and not because we don't take the time to get to know each other, but because we have both changed so much. Cheesecake used to be his favorite. I made him one for Valentine's Day and it's still sitting in the fridge untouched. I often think about college and when we were first married and about the things that were important then and realize that even though that stuff seems silly now, at the time it was important. I wonder what will be important to me five years from now and if the person I am today will seem silly to me then...

Okay, now that I'm done being philosophical, I'll tell about my kids this weekend. Somer was a swimming monster. From the minute we got to the hotel she was asking, can we go swimming yet??? I was glad to see that she did gain a little fear of the water (although not enough). Last summer we had to make her wear a life jacket because she would just cannon ball off the side whether someone was there to catch her or not. This weekend she was a little more leery. She would at least wait for you to be standing there before she jumped (whether you were ready or not!). This was also Hudson's first swimming experience and I think he liked it. I'm not sure what he was thinking most of the time, but he seemed to be enjoying himself. No pictures this time, but I'll get some new ones soon.
