People will sometimes ask a couple without children, "When are you planning to start your family?" Not only is it probably not a good idea to ask someone that, but you don't have to have children to have a family! We ARE a family. We hadn't had professional photos taken of us since we were married and I didn't want to forget this time when it was just the two of us. Without children. But, still a family.
So, for our 5th anniversary we asked my sweet friend, talented
photographer, and founder of
PPP,
Jill Witt, if she would take some pictures of us while she was visiting for our race! Thank goodness she has such an enormous heart because I'll cherish these pictures forever.
I often tell Matt, "Even if we never have children, I'll still be the luckiest person on earth because I have you." And, while we can't wait to start the next phase of our lives, we definitely haven't sat around waiting for it. We've been living and loving our lives--just us. I love this guy.
