Today is Todd & I’s fifth wedding anniversary! I seriously can’t believe it was 5 whole years ago that we said “I DO” and 10 years ago that we started dating! That seriously flew by!
This post has become a fun tradition for me to do every year to recap the past year of our marriage! If you would like to see our past years’ recaps you can check out year one , year two , year three, and year four.
Things We Did: Found out we were having 2 BOYS with our friends & family, Virtual VBS, took a Babymoon to the Homestead Omni Resort, Attended our own baby shower, set up a nursery, drove the Parkway together, met our two sons Arrow & Rhodes, Spent two months visiting the NICU everyday, snuggled babies…a lot, got discharged from the NICU, sent out our first Holloway Chronicles, got a cake in a box in the mail, successfully quarantined from each other for 10 days right before Christmas (thanks C*vid), wore matching Christmas P.J.’s, watched the Superbowl, celebrated my 27th Birthday, showed the boys Christmas lights for the first time, celebrated Christmas with family, start an emergency fund, took our baby bears out in their first snow, celebrated Todd’s 27th birthday, went to Seaquest, fed babies…a lot, went on our first Yurt camping trip at Explore Park, baby proofed our home, survived a pandemic, changed jobs (me to stay at home, Todd to Media Minister), took our boys to church, went to the Roanoke Art Museum, ate way too much ice cream & zebra cakes, cleaned out the basement, sang baby shark…a lot, adjusted to parenthood!

Even though this year has maybe the shortest list of “things we did” I can honestly say it’s been the craziest, biggest year of our lives! We’ve changed this year more than any other, and man is it amazing!
