donal and i started dating on february 6th, 2001.
{so in 3 days from now, we will have been together for 10 years!}
on december 2nd, 2005, donal got down on one knee and proposed. after saying YES!, i told him that all i wanted to do that night was to pick a date... so we picked a day in november 2006...
a few days after the engagement, a friend jokingly suggested we get married while we are on our ski trip in february.
ha! no way! funny joke! why wouldn't we want a traditional wedding? i want to PLAN my wedding! i want a wedding dress!
a few days passed... this idea started to sound better and better.
so, in 2 short months, we planned our ski-trip-wedding!
here we are on our wedding day before the ceremony... him in his tux and me in my dress.

instead of bubbles or rice, something more fitting... SNOWBALLS!
here we are at our reception that we had here at home a few weeks after the wedding
5 years ago today, i stood on top of durango mountain ski hill and said my vows to my best friend. i meant every word of those vows. and i thought that i loved him with all of my being then... needless to say, i still find myself falling harder every day. he is still the man that i can't imagine spending my life without. he still makes me laugh every day. and even through the cold and rough seasons of our marriage, we still love each other unconditionally. i am so incredibly proud of the man that he has become.
to lanod,
happy anniversary!
i am soooo looking forward to the next 50+ years with you.
