5th Wedding Anniversary

When I was in the basement today I saw a picture album from our wedding night and decided to reminiscence a little. First, it's amazing how much changes in five years. Second, it amazing how much stays the same. Velvet, Bill, Jason, and Velvet's parents all look the same today as they did five years ago. Pat, my parents, and my brother look totally different. I look like another person and wonder what Velvet was thinking...I'll bring the pictures to work if anyone is interested in looking.

To celebrate our anniversary we dined at The Summit restaurant in Christiansburg for the first time. Velvet suggested it and I heard three reviews all raving about the great food. I have to admit the food was really good (even though my steak came out a little too done). If you are looking to impress your date with some great food and a nice atmosphere I definitely recommend The Summit. :)

I'm more of a “look to the future” guy than “dwell on the past” guy; so I'll give you some insight on what will be going on five years from now, instead of what has transpired over the last five....In five years Drew will be in kindergarten and Jordan will be in 4th grade. I'll be working on my 11th year at Webmail.us. I'll only have 20 more years to pay on my house (haha). Maybe I'll have the driveway paved by then so I can put up a basketball goal for Jordan. Hopefully I'll still have my Jeep (gas will only be $6.00/gallon but that still beats having a car payment). Maybe my golf game will be in the 90s (OK, so I'm dreaming a little). Jordan won't remember a time when TV wasn't in high definition. Wireless Internet access will be available practically everywhere for free. Jordan will be using this laptop and think it's archaic. I might be caught up on the Sopranos. I hope Jordan can teach Drew how to play chess, read, and create his own blog. Jordan will still be in gymnastics (and will keep requesting a trip to Sonic after each session). Velvet and I will be celebrating our 10th Wedding Anniversary.
