Anniversary

On September 25 Justin and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. For some reason I am really proud of this one. Maybe it's because this time last year I wasn't sure if we would make it to 5 years. We were at the brink of divorce and we decided to try one last time and voila. Here we are today.
In 5 years we have:
Moved 4 times in 3 cities.
Endured 14 (really!!) new jobs.
Had countless arguments.
Gone on a total of 2 vacations that didn't involve staying with family.
Had a really beautiful daughter.
Started college (me anyway)
Bought a home.
And so much more.

School

This semester I am taking English 1010. So far I'm loving the class but my professor is tough. His assignments are really hard.

Update.

Justin and Alexys with the Sea Lions

My beautiful flower girl with Danielle's bouquet

At the Aquarium of the Bay...touching starfish.

In a cell at Alcatraz...I didn't know he was taking this pic.

Cool, huge bubbles at the Exploratorium.

Well I have a bit to catch up on. July was my birthday. Yay I'm 23. We didn't do anything but that's okay. August was busy. Justin had to go to Washington for work. He was only supposed to be gone for 3-5 days. It ended up being 10 so we spent some time at my parents house. We came home for 3 days, school started then we had to leave again for Brady and Danielle's wedding. Alexys was a cute little flower girl. The wedding was fun. They got married on Thursday. On Saturday we left for Vegas. We spent Sat-Thurs. visiting Justin's parents then flew to San Francisco. Alexys is a good little flyer. We stayed in the Embassy Suites in Burlingame just outside of San Francisco. It was a cool hotel. We had a view of the Bay. We spent 4 days there. While we were there we went to Brady and Danielle's other reception for her family and friends, took a boat tour of the bay, saw the sea lions (whom Alexys loved, but they stunk) went to the Aquarium of the Bay, went to the Eploratorium (I recommend it to everyone. It was really cool) went down the most crooked street, through Chinatown (I hated that. People there are idiots. Justin almost hit 4-5 pedestrians because they didn't look before walking out in front of us) and we went to Alcatraz.
There is so much to say about the whole trip. I loved the Aquarium. You walk through a tunnel and all the fishies are swimming all around you. I loves seeing the rays. Then you got to touch them too! Alexys was a bit afraid to touch, but warmed up to starfish and sea cucumbers. The sea lions were so fun. Alexys still will tell me 'sea lions say ark ark.' We spent 4 hours at the Exploratorium and only visited 2 out of 5 sections. There was so much cool stuff to do there. I was a bit disappointed in Alcatraz. I've heard that it's haunted and you hear all sorts of funky stuff while there, and I heard that sometimes they lock you in the cells. None of that happened for us. In fact they don't even have a tour guide there anymore. The tour you take is audo through a headset. Had I known this we would have left Alexys on the main land with my parents. She was so bored. It was cool to go and see the prison because I've heard so much about it. And it was extremely informative (and you can ask my family I'm always the one reading signs while they leave me behind.) All in all it was a fun trip.
