Congrats!!!
I have a similar story with my marriage.
I've been married ten.
My oldest child is six.
Both my wife and I have a hard time remembering the first 4 years.

Way to go, Usivius.
And may there be many more years yet to enjoy.
(I've just passed 20 years myself. Damn, that's as long as a prison term...

)
(Oops, did I say that out loud???)

CONGRATULATIONS!!
I hit 22 years this February 25th ... and my 18 year old daughter and 20 year old son remind me how old I am.
Oh, and "bliss" is replaced by "remember to clean the damn carpets" [I did 4 rooms for Christmas"vacation".]
But of course - everyone loves each other dearly!!

Ah, MM - the smartest man on the Watch!
I just had my 10 year, back in September.

I failed at my first venture, and remain wary of future ones.
Best of luck to those of you in a marriage, it takes a lot of work to make it successful!

Marrage is kind of like a brass object:
Over the years, it tarnishes.
You have to polish it once in a while to get the luster back in it.

There were WAY too many fingerprints on that brass 'object' to warrant polishing and salvaging.
But thanks for the beautiful analogy!

Funny, whenever I polish my object it's usually when my wife is away.

I failed at my first one too ( 4 years ), but will be 8 years this year with my wonderfully understanding wife - she needs to be to be married to me.
Our 19 month old boy and 4 month old girl don't let us have time to argue so everything is rosy in our garden
Oh, and congratulations on reaching 5, it's hard work and you have to work hard at it to get results.

Happy 5 years, Usivius! And everyone else for being able to put up with one person for any length of time!
I'm like MM - single, childless, petless and free of responsibilities/blame for any of it. All I have is my mortgage and car. And sweet sweet FREEDOM to travel at the drop of a hat!
