Over the weekend, Brad and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. This year was actually a milestone.
We were unusually home on our anniversary and it was a Saturday. So, we had a nice relaxing day, then went out to a nice dinner at Strip in Avon. Strip is a cool steakhouse in an old barn.
I discovered something when Brad was gone all last week on a business trip. I realized that between the time we got married and now, I’ve become so much more independent. But it’s not just independence that I’ve developed, it’s confidence, competence and comfort-ence. (Alliteration is my favorite.)

I sat here looking at a blank page trying to come up with something to say about four years of marriage. And I had nothing, no profound words.
