on tuesday night we celebrated five years of marriage by having dinner at againn and dessert at hill country bbq (for me) and pitango (for him). we talked a lot about what we’ve done with the last five years and what we look forward to and want out of the next five. i love this man, a lot. i’m thankful for his support and love and that he’s the one i get to spend forever with. here’s to the next five years…and all the years after that.
congrats to you both! and what a lovely looking anniversary dinner you had!
oh and that braid … i'd love to know how you did it!
Well you look amazing. As always!
Happy 5 years, you guys are so cute.
You look so beautiful! I LOVE your dress!!!
This is so sweet! I'm so glad you two are still just as in love.

Congratulations! We will be married four years next week and it has just flown by so quickly. Five years is the one I am looking forward to though because the traditional gift is wood and although we usually don't exchange gifts there's a lot of great possibilities I have in mind for that one.
YOur hair is beautiful! Love it! And congrats :)
How great and so very happy you both look! It's fantastic to see. Looks like your dinner was fantastic too. And I'll join the gang and say how much I love your braid!

so sweet! happy anniversary xx
Aww that's adorable! You really inspire people you know? Wish you two all the best in the world! xx
Whenever I look at your pictures on Instagram and read your posts here, I can't comprehend how one can be so happy with life. You're blessed in every way and even though we are from two entirely separate worlds, it makes me happy to see someone so happy and satisfied with what they've been blessed with and what they have got. May you always be happy and love life forever :)
5 years – wow, congratulations! And I am very very jealous of your hair. Mine is so thin, I could never braid it like that – it would probably hold for about 5minutes. You look gorgeous!
anniversaries of any sort are the best…don't you think?
wishing you and josh heaps and heaps more.

love you hair and shoes!! Congratulations, you two. :)

First, congrats! Second, how did you do the braid?! Love it. Third, how ON EARTH do you look this good after having a baby just a few weeks ago?! You lucky girl. My baby is now 2 months old and I feel like I have a 3 months pregnant pooch that will not leave. I'm probably a lot shorter than you though, so it shows more :-(
I wish you and your beautiful family all the best.
Congrats you guys!
P.s. I love your hair! you should do a tutorial! :)

congratulations! You look beautiful, and you seem so perfect for each other :-)
looks great! you look so happy! all the best.
your hair looks cute!
congrats on 5!
um, didn't you just have a baby like yesterday? you look fantastic!
congratulations on your anniversary!
You look stunning, your happiness is contagious! Congratulations on 5 years! It's been so fun watching your family grow!
happy 5 years!! you look amazing! i can only hope i look that good after baby!
That looks like a perfect anniversary evening to me!! My husband and I also celebrated 5 years in may, and we were talkin about how fast that has gone by, but also that it feels like we've been together so much longer than that (in a good way of course) and as much as we love taking baby girl out with us, mama and daddy solo dates are kind of the greatest. Happy anniversary!
Congratulations! I am sure your life is more than you ever thought it would be five years ago!

Congratulations! What a fun way to celebrate! Your hair looks amazing!
Happy Anniversary. Love everything about this post <3

this is incredibly sweet. i love that you kept it simple (but stunning) and got to catch up a bit. happy anni, you two sweethearts!
1-HOW CAN YOU BE SO THIN AND BEAUTIFUL AFTER GIVING BIRTH JUST 2 WEEKS AGO! amazing! maybe the countless years of dancing, eh?
2-through this blog–i am a follower 4 years now i feel sometimes i know you and i gope one day we could meet … if you come a trip to europe or me in dc… i would really love to read all the love story of you and josh… i loooooooove to know how all relationships start, the first moment yoy saw each other etc….
i know you are super busy and you do not know me, but i would like to send a little present to your babies if you want it too :)
good health and a lot of smiles! :)
congrats on your 5 year mark! that is such a treat. it is SO great to see a positive side of marriage these days in the world and your family is just THE sweetest. thanks for being you and sharing :)
congratulations! these are so beautiful…would you do a tutorial on how you did that braid? it's absolutely stunning!
xx.
Congratulations to you! we celebrated our 5 years a few weeks ago. I wanted to go on a trip, just me and my husband so bad, but with two little kids, it was impossible. But they are worth all the trips I could go on w/ my husband. :)
congratulations! and your hair looks lovely!
Yay for 5 years!!! We celebrate 5 years in July. How fun. I don't think we'll be going on a date though. We are still new to our new city we live in and don't know any sitters and there's no family around. Your date looks lovely though =)

you look so happy! I wish you many years together!
Congratulations :-)
You look great and I love the shoe/foot-picture. Adorable.
What did YOU have for dessert?
I love what you guys stand for: love, family and togetherness. You say it so stylishly too! I hope you guys have lots of kids!
Congrats to you guys! I am going on 8 years with my hubby and it just gets better…..
wow, 5 years is really significant. You guys are such a power couple. :)
Congrats on your anniversary. We just had our first 6 months together and I got so excited about the next 4.5 years after reading this.
Oh I forgot to ask you in my comment – is there any chance that you'd make a tutorial on how to make that braid? :) Thanks! Congrats once again!
What an absolutely gorgeous couple! I love that you spent your anniversary going over the last 5 years and planning the next 5. Just awesome. Congratulations to you both!
Congratulations on 5 years and baby#2!
May I ask how you were able to get out of the house – and make 3 stops while tandem nursing, nonetheless! – with such a brand new baby? Our second child is just a week older than Samson and my mind is reeling wondering how you were able to get out on a date so soon!
I love the upbeat and positive nature of your blog; it's the main reason I visit your blog as opposed to some others. But I also enjoy posts where you share challenges as well. Because sometimes all the pretty pictures seem so "perfect" it leaves me wondering if you have the same difficulties all the other parents I know do. Or if maybe your babies don't scream in their carseats…or ever have diaper blowouts while out and about…or want to nurse the moment you enter a restaurant…or if you ever leave the house looking anything less than magazine ready.
If you are open to suggestions for content/posts, I would love to know more about how you overcome the practical challenges of parenthood. (Ex. How you approach nursing in public, how you manage to nurse in some of your outfits, how you find time to get all dolled up with two little ones, how you manage long road trips with baby, etc).
Wow! 2 weeks after having a baby and you looks SO GOOD! You can't tell that you JUST had a baby. Congrats!
Aww this is so sweet, congratulations to both of you! :D
I love how excited you seem five years in. Most people seem happy, and even comfortable, but you still have sparks together in your pictures.
Congratulations! My husband and I just celebrated 2 years together and I feel the same…I am over the moon that I get to spend the rest of my life with him.
Congratulations!
I'd love to know where your shoes are from.
Congrats to you both!
Dinner looks delicious!
I alwo love your hair (braid), did you use a tutorial?
Looks like a lovely time! :)
Happy Anniversary to you guys (again)! :)

Hi Naomi! Congrats on 5 years!
I also just wanted to tell you that I work in the MTC and saw your sister there today! I recognized her from the blog and asked if she knew you and she got this big smile and said you were her sister :) She seems like she's doing really well! Love
Hi Naomi,
I've been following your blog for a few years. I went to school at GWU and then got a horrible entry-level job in Crystal City. Your blog helped with the down time and I've been following ever since!
I travel around the world now (I'm in Asia for now) and it's always nice to see your posts and be reminded of home.
I've had my own blog for four or five years and I'm trying to get a real jump on it. I was hoping you could take a look and let me know what you think!
http://www.globaltumbleweed.com
I'm sorry I'm one of the many followers that reads and never comments. Hopefully I can be more engaging. Thanks!
You are a wonderful couple <3
I wish u the best!

Hello! If it's not late,.don't hesitate to visit Firenze and Perugia, small but lovely, and Firenze, even better than Rome, not that.crowed. Smalls villages in Toscana, are beautiful, and Sicily…Italy is nice and their food…just ask and try everything you can and please, in principal cities don't forget to try ice creams from Il GROM. Ask for the season flavour and add PANNA. Is homemade icecreams and white.cream, just a piece of heaven to taste! Have a.good.trip and enjoy.
