Hooray! We have made it this far!
Team Oakley is VERY proud to celebrate our five year anniversary today. Or as we like to call it, Cinco de Marriage! It has not been easy. We have moved about ten times, lived in three differents states, had multiple employers, and the best of all we did, we had a baby!
It's been a whirl wind. But because it has, we are very thankful for getting here. So let's party!
The night before our anniversary our dear friends Kristen and Kevin brought us a delicious vegan dinner, snacks, and they took us to see a movie.
The movie we saw was Cloud Atlas....it was amazing. Everyone should see it. It will change you. It was fantastic! Then we hung out with our dear friends after the movie and discussed all the powerful themes and ideas. We were able to do this because Emery was staying at his Nana's that night.
We had not had a night out like that in a VERY long time. If felt so great.
The next day we did not have much in store. We wanted to celebrate our five years, so decided we would do five fun things.
fun thing number 1: we slept in. Both of us. Usually one can while the other gets up with Emery (at like 8, so we are not complaining!), but we both slept until 10 with no interruptions...it was wonderful!
Then we got in the car to do more fun things.
Hooray for us and our marriage!
The second fun thing we did was get breakfast burritos. We always have loved doing this, so even-though it seems silly, it was really fun for us.
We laughed at the labels on our burritos. So like us.
Special thing number two: we got starbucks!
the third fun thing we did is....
Drive on the new 840 west! This freeway has been under construction for YEARS now! It connects some major freeways and is going to be a great thing for many commuters, including Beka, and it JUST opened. It was so pretty!
Then for the 4th fun thing Michael and Beka went to the Opryland hotel! We both thought we had been, but were not sure. We walked and walked and loved seeing everything we could. It is so pretty there!
Then we picked up Emery from Nana and Pappy's house. He did the 5th fun thing with us. We went treasure hunting at good will!
Emery was pretty goofy.
We found some treasures too! We bought these vintage chairs. We are not sure if were are going to redo them, but for now they are in our kitchen, looking great! And there are five of them. Cinco de chairs!
It was a WONDERFUL anniversary. It wasn't anything too big, but it was sweet and very memorable.
Here is to us! Where we have come and to where we are heading!
Hurray cinco de marriage!
Thanks for being on this journey with us.
Love,
Team Oakley
