In honor of our 5 year wedding anniversary, Joe and I decided to renew our wedding vows. After having Ryan, we came to realize just how important our marriage is and how difficult it has become to put each other first all while keeping God at the center of our marriage.
This seemed like the perfect time to rededicate our lives to each other and I am so happy that we did it. Our vows were renewed by our friend Jon Peacock (his father Walt actually did married us!) in the same place we were married 5 years ago.
Jon reminded us that in the midst of such busy lives, jobs and becoming parents, it's even more important than ever to be 100% committed to each other and to our marriage. When you become a parent, everything is depleted....money, sleep, time, patience, making it more and more difficult to remain a rock solid couple.
It was a very rejuvenating moment for us. To stand before God and each other and say our vows again meant more to each of us than we really thought it would and we have committed to doing it every 5 years! I knew it was true, but it was just nice to hear Joe tell me that he would marry me all over again.
Following our short ceremony, me, Joe and Ryan all headed downtown and stayed the night in the Hilton Palmer House. My parents booked the room for us, so we didn't even have to pay for it!! We walked around downtown, went to dinner and just really enjoyed some family time. It was a great weekend! Went by way too fast as always, but it was definitely one I will remember forever!
