Today is the greatest day of them all! Today is our 5th year anniversary. I can't believe that we have made it this far without killing each other. I feel like we have done a lot in a little bit of time.
Rodney and I started our friendship while our father's were in the Marine Corp. Our parents were thankfully stationed at the same locations for several years. Because of my crush on Rodney, I would always want to hangout with Rodney and Michael (my brother) to participate in their stupid and crazy activities. I would constantly ask Michael to find out if Rodney liked me. Although Rodney knew I like him, it took me until the age of 18, he 23, to finally get him to go on a date with me because he "gives everyone a chance." After a year and a half, we finally (I convinced him) decided that our relationship was destined for a lifetime.
Now 5 unbelievable years later, we are going strong! Rodney I moved to Orlando, FL in 2001. We became a family in 2002 with Mr. Conan. We both received our degrees, Rodney's in 2004 and mine in 2005. During 2004 and 2005, hurricanes seemed like an everyday occurrence. After surviving through Charlie and going through 3 more hurricanes, Rodney and I decided on a move to Texas. We relocated to beautiful DFW in 2005. We have had a wonderful opportunity to start out our young marriage in a very beautiful house. Rodney is working on his second year at VW (not the car maker) and I am working on my first week at a wonderful up and coming financial company.
Hopefully at the 10th year anniversary, I will be able to add the birth of a baby, but only time will tell what the future has in store for us.
