This week we are getting ready to take an anniversary weekend trip to the bed and breakfast that we stayed at for our honeymoon five years ago.

We are so excited to get away, kid-free, and have a little taste of luxury at the scenic Green River Bridge House.

We leave Friday morning to bring the kids down to Massachusetts to stay with my parents-in-law for the weekend, then the B&B is only 20 minutes from there in beautiful southern Vermont.

I know five years is really not that long, but given that we are more in love today than we were five years ago, and the fact that most marriages that end in divorce are already on the rocks at this point, I am feeling pretty good about this marriage thing.

The fact that our marriage is based on a commitment to each other and to God, not on how I feel at any given point in time probably helps, too.
