Five whole wonderful years!

A while ago I posted about our second fourth wedding anniversary. Well on the 2nd of December Rob and I took the day off  work and celebrated our first fifth wedding anniversary! It was a lovely day, we got up early and headed to the shops for some Christmas shopping, which had to be done that weekend as it is the only one free before I leave for the states for the holidays <will post about this soon>!

We managed to get everyones presents barr one or two and Rob even surprised me by getting me a new Kindle! It's such a wonderful and thoughtful gift as I can use it when I'm travelling next week! The night before I gave Rob some lovely new headphones. We also spent the weekend drinking champagne and admiring the wonderful red and yellow roses Rob gave me, well I did at least!

On Friday evening we went to see Matilda the Musical in the West End. It was FANTASTIC!!! I was very weary as most of the cast are children and sometimes they can be hard to watch for so long but they were all so talented and the show was extremely smart and entertaining. I think anyone roughly our ages would have grown up with Roald Dalh and would remember how magical and fun his stories are. This show really stays true to Dalh's overarching philosophy of good triumphing over evil using a bit of fun, intelligence, and sincerity! If you get a chance to, go see it!

Saturday we were so tired from our busy Friday that we lounged around the house, enjoying our new gadgets, and watching movies!

It was a very lovely anniversary. Throughout the weekend I kept thinking about how loved I felt on the day five years ago with my close family and friends. Rob and I both remember our wedding day as a blur of happiness and looking back on it, I guess that's how I feel the first five years have gone as well... one big blur of happiness! I couldn't think of better way to look back on half of decade of marriage, I hope and look forward to the many more full decades of happiness to come. There are very few digital photos of this wedding but here is one with big smiles that I love!

The wedding day!
