FIVE YEARS!!!

My how time flies when you're having fun. It was five years ago today that Jason and I married each other. Last night as we were laying in bed, we were recounting all the memories of our wedding day. It's amazing how much Jason remembers considering he had tonsillitis and was on a lot of medication. Of course there were lots of funny memories.

Here's some of more entertaining ones:
The photographer wanting Jason to lift me up and him just looking at me and saying "Uh, that's not going to happen." I didn't take it personally because he did look like death walking.

While sitting in the celestial room, waiting to be taken into the sealing room, I accidentally lost the pin holding my name tag down the bust of my dress. Jason would've been happy to dig in and find it, but weren't quite married yet. We never did find it.

The officiator of the wedding, as he was giving his counsel, mentioned that Hafen men are stubborn. That might have been one of the highlights, especially for all of the other women who had already joined the Hafen family.

When I ask Jason about what he was thinking as we were at the alter, he said all he wanted to do is put his head down and go to sleep. Sentimental, huh?

We both really can't believe that it's been 5 years already, but at the same time it's hard to remember life before each other. So in that sense, it seems like we've been together forever already (in a good way.) I'm so lucky to have him by my side! He is the best husband ever. (No offense to all you other husbands.)

Abandonment Issues

Okay, so our sweet little girl is apparently only sweet for Jason and I. So babysitters be warned. She is going through a very clingy stage. We went to Disneyland this weekend with Cally and Nate, and also with Jason's cousin A.K. and his wife Carolyn, who also are our next door neighbors (don't ask how that happened). During our trip, AK and Carolyn were brave enough to watch Kimball while we rode the few rides that we can together. When we got off the rides, she was sobbing like a drama queen. (She gets it from Jason, even though he denies it) Hopefully, Kimball will grow out of this stage soon. Either way, we'll get through it.

But let's talk more about the Happiest Place on Earth. Now that we have a little kid to take on rides, we're re-discovering many sides to the park that had long been forgotten. Here's a picture of one. The merry-go-round. I think Jason enjoyed it as much as Kimball.

I had forgotten all about the little kids rides in Fairy Book Land. But let me tell you... those rides are CREEPY! We went on Snow White, which had skeletons everywhere and lots of dark corners that made me nervous. AND, Mr. Toads Wild Ride was the creepiest of all. At then end of that ride, you end up in HELL. It was hot and steamy and there were fake flames everywhere with the devil grinning at us. I had no idea. On Pinnochio, that scary whale Monstro (yes, I know the name now) pops out at you. Apparently I need to re-watch some of these movies to make sure I know what I'm getting into before I hop on these little rides. Aside from the trauma of these rides, and Kimball's separation anxiety, we had a blast. Here are so more pics.

Kimball screams along with all the people getting wet on one of the water rides.

Our little prodigy (almost).
