OMG 5 Years!

This past weekend, Adam and I celebrated 5 years!  We had a nice little weekend.  On Friday night, we went to a wine bar down the street from our house.  We then went on a long walk across the bridge and enjoyed a nice dessert at a chocolate store with a beautiful view of the harbor.  On Saturday, we went for a run and then later went out to dinner at Sean's on Bondi Beach.  The food was fantastic and the dessert even more so.  According to Adam it was one of his favorite desserts ever.  Finally, on Sunday we went on a trail in Garigal National Park.  We saw a natural sandstone bridge that was cool.  The trail was difficult and a week later, my knee still hurts :(  I feel old.  Altogether, I would say it was a great weekend and a wonderful time celebrating 5 years!  Here are some pix from the trail:

This is the natural bridge.

Looking back 5 years ago, I never would have imagined this is where we would be.  I never thought that life would take us to Australia (at least to live).  I also thought we would have kids by now ... but you never know where life will take you! 

To compare, 5 years ago, I was working on my Masters degree and about to start my first year teaching 6th grade at Harrison Elementary.  Adam was working at Porter paints.  We were living in a crappy apartment in Cheviot.  Since then, we have adopted a dog, bought a house, switched jobs/careers (Adam is a sales rep and I teach special ed), finished school (multiple times for me), and moved across the world. 

In the next 5 years, we hope to be back in the U.S. with hopefully a kid (or 2)!  Adam will hopefully move up in his company and work on the international side of things.  Who knows what I will be doing (probably either teaching or being a stay at home mom).  I'm writing all this down so that in 5 years I can remember what we were thinking and compare it to what actually happens!  Cheers to many more anniversary's to come!
