5 years today.  06.09.07 – 06.09.12

5 years ago today, Tim and I were married!  I don’t think I’m qualified to give advice yet, but if I was going to, I’d say that marrying your best friend is definitely the way to go – its working out great for us so far :).

To Tim – you are my best friend, husband, #1 fan (or #2 if you ask my mom), business partner, partner in crime, rock, comedian, and everything else that goes along with our crazy life together.  I love you and I’m so happy that we picked each other :).  Cheers to another 100 years!

For our anniversary a few years ago, I posted some of our wedding photos – you can see those here if you are interested…this year, I thought I would go back in to the past and dig up some other photos. 
Sort of traveling through time…we have TONS of photos, but here are a few of my favorites over the (almost 13!) years we’ve been together.  (There are a lot of photos of Tim and I below – if you are sick of seeing us, definitely click off this page now!!).

It all started here…this photo was taken about a month after it all began 🙂

Then we moved to Florida for grad school and I got a seriously awesome tan!

Want to get engaged? ok.

Then we got married!

Off to the honeymoon!

Then we traveled a bit…

Ate some year-old cake!

And, climbed a mountain.

Got dressed up.

Went to Ireland.

And found out that 2 O’Connell’s were now 3 O’Connell’s!
