5 years

Man it just keeps getting better.
Would you like to hear about it? It goes something like this:
1 First sight. . . 1 first date. . .1 first kiss. . .
2months- Kate and Caleb date frantically, spending every possible minute together before Caleb leaves for. . .
2 years-to Montreal, Canada. Kate to BYU. . .1 goodbye. . .52 letters. . . 
5 relationships for Kate. . . 2 phone calls and 1 date with Kate when Caleb comes home. . .
1 Goodbye. . .1 sad year and 1 engagement for Kate. . .
2 or 20 relationships for Caleb, depending on if you ask him or if you ask the girls. . .
1 "chance" meeting. . .
1 broken engagement for Kate. . .
1 2nd first date. . .1 2nd first kiss. . .
2 months dating frantically, spending every possible minute together. . .
2 answers. . .
1 engagement. . .
1.5 months-crazy Kate, patient Caleb. . .5 days before the wedding, Kate still wiggin. . .
1 blessing from heaven. . .1 happy couple. . .
1 Holy temple
1 Good man. . .1 lucky wife. . .2 and 2/3 fabulous kids. . .
5 years. . .and I think it's ridiculous I get to be this happy.

I never gave up on you guys :) After all, Caleb told me he thinks we were "sisters in heaven".

Good summation. You know it was meant to be when it survives a bumpy start like that. I should know :) Happy Versary!

Aahhhh! What an answer to Prayer Caleb was and is. It was like the cavalry arriving. We love you both deeply. Thanks for marrying each other and being such great friends with my kids. They love you like second parents. We love you like our kids!

Happy Anniversary!
Caleb is the only one of your many boyfriends I ever liked on the first meeting. Or basically at all.
So, good choice.
We sure miss you guys.

Katie said...

That sums it up quite nicely. You guys were so meant for each other. Like your dad always says - you found a prince.

Hi Kate,

Happy anniversary to you and Caleb. I hope you guys did something fabulous to celebrate.

Okay, so I'm only slightly embarrassed that this is my "debut" comment on your blog. You probably have NO idea who I am; that's okay, I think we met twice. Maybe. We are connected in oh so many ways, though, (blog world wise). I am finding your link on all of my friends' blogs--it's crazy, really (Becca, Melynn, Stacey). Oh, and I read your blog often, and it's one of my favs. :)
So now that I'm sounding a wee bit stalker-ish, I do have a question. How did you change your blog address to onemangotree? And were you able to change it without having to have everyone else change their links to the new address? I'm wanting to do this myself seeming as how I put our last name in the html address (oy). Any tips, or pointers? I would love to hear them Thanks, Kate!

Happiness is the object and design of our existence....

Thank you so much for the pointers, Kate! And I hope you are having a fabulous day. Glad to be able to comment at will now ;)
