Did you miss Part One? Read it here.
Year Four {2010-2011}
More family time...
We both graduated.
More boating with Travis' family {he doesn't always cooperate with the sunscreen...}
We went camping at Pike's Peak {Iowa}.
We were really proud of our fire and tent!
Lots of beautiful views!
And we moved to Ann Arbor! {Thanks to our family for all their help!}
Travis received his white coat and started Medical School!
We decorated our first Christmas tree!
And then again there is a gap in my pictures - probably due to the large amount of time spent wedding planning, and going to wedding showers.
Year Five {2011-2012}
Most importantly, this was the year we got married!
We went to Aruba for our honeymoon!
{Oranjestad, Aruba}
Yes - that's a flamingo!
Our favorite restaurant of the trip - it had delicious seafood.
Snorkeling and typical underwater photos
We both did lots of reading - in and out of the pool/hot tub/ocean.
The north side of the island during one of our tours.
The whole north side of the island has rough cliffs along the ocean - a stark contrast to the beautiful sandy beaches on the south side.
The old fort
I learned how to feed ostriches.
One of the caves that the natives used to inhabit - it still has paintings covering the walls and ceiling.
Beautiful sunsets
Lots of fish and coral seen during snorkeling expeditions.
A little cove that we snorkeled on the north side of the island.
More fish pictures
Land sailing.
Visited Niagara Falls with our friends!
I swear I did take these pictures myself - the falls are just that beautiful!
We welcomed our two little gliders {my first furry pets!}
Managed a whirlwind trip to both Iowa, {Sophie and Travis are playing with sock puppets.}
and made it to Chicago.
It seems like the gap in my pictures is always in this January to March/April season of the year, and I think it has to do with our school schedules after the holidays. *Mental note to self: make sure to still plan activities during the winter months.*
We went through a lot in these first few years, broken teeth, medical school and graduate school applications/interviews, traveling, being apart in the summer for research, and more experiences than I can count. I don't think I would change any of it. When we started dating, I had no idea I was dating my future husband, I had no idea what I wanted to do or where I wanted my life to go. He is a big part of who I have become, and I can't thank him enough for all of the times he's been there.
So for our 5th year anniversary, we're going to Gratzi, an Italian restaurant in Ann Arbor, that we've been meaning to try. Then we're planning a re-re-watching of the Matrix, which was the movie we watched together the night Travis asked me out {for the second time-more on that here}.
I've loved every minute of our time together and I can only hope for many many more years to come.
