May 31

Five years ago today, I met the man of my dreams on a blind date that began with a handshake and four years ago today, I was engaged to this man, who was, and still is, my best friend.

While I'll never live that handshake down (C even included mention of it in our wedding vows), it's amazing to look back, knowning what I know now and with all the experiences that we've had together since then, and remember that while we both thoroughly enjoyed that date, we had no idea at that time that five years later, we'd be happily married for nearly three years and have a precious baby boy and loveable Frenchie completing our family.

It's been an amazing journey with C thus far and I can't wait to see what the next five years bring us.

Happy "First Date" and "Engagement" Anniversary, C!
