Things that have and have not changed...

May 17th was our 5 year anniversary!  : )  Cody and I took off that Friday to enjoy a 3 day weekend together.  But I'm going to save my rambling about our wonderful weekend together for my next post.  First I wanted to share a random list of things that have either changed, or not changed, throughout our marriage so far, comparing Year 1 to Year 5.

Things that have NOT changed from Year 1 to Year 5:

• We both still HATE cleaning and therefore typically don't.
• We both still have an unusually high tolerance for a dirty home. (See above)
• We both still love to be silly and goofy together. 
• We both still enjoy playing games together and cuddling to watch TV or movies.
• We both still find it entertaining to use TV and movie quotes as often as possible.
• We both still call each other the same nickname that started right around our wedding - "Loves".

Things that HAVE changed from Year 1 to Year 5:

• We used to sleep with a nightlight (yes, I was 'scared' of the dark at 21) but now I also prefer it to be pitch black.
• We used to Febreeze our clothes in order to rewear them, but now we do laundry more regularly. 
• We used to (at the beginning) argue over food/dinner/groceries due to a lot of differences between us, but now we have grown accustom to the food specifics of each other and it rarely bothers us.
• "We" used to be just us, but now "we" is us plus Callie.
• We were both still in school finishing up at A&M throughout Year 1, but now we are both working full-time (and are SO grateful to finally have started a real dual income!).
• We used to not have any sport activities in common, but now we both love the Spurs and wear matching jerseys to games. 

Obviously there are numerous other things that could be on either of these lists.  These are just some worth sharing.
