5 Year Anniversary

May 9, 2009 was the day that I got to marry my very best friend, and this weekend we got to celebrate 5 years together as husband and wife! It's pretty difficult to even attempt to write this because my words will never adequately describe the way I feel about Cory Lee Chandler. Being married to him has and will forever make an impact on my life. The Lord has used him to continually sanctify me, and for that I am thankful! I can think of nothing more sweet than marriage to strengthen our walk with the Lord and to display the Gospel. Jesus pursues us and makes a covenant with us that will never be broken, and we get to display that process on Earth through our marriage. Thank you Lord for this gift!

So here is what we did- Mom and Dad were awesome by offering to take the kids for a weekend(this is no easy feat). :) Being kidless is a great thing, but only temporarily because I miss those little boogers so much when they are away! We decided to use a gift certificate from Red River Grill in Marksville, LA that was given to us at Christmas. Oh man, was it good!!! Cory got the Mahi Mahi with all sorts of things with it, and I got the Crawfish fettuchini. We shared crawfish rolls for an Appetizer. It was some of the BEST food we had ever eaten. I would highly recommend it! The atmosphere is perfect for a night out with the one you adore!

After we ate, we hung out downtown at the Alexandria River Feat. This was a festival that went on all weekend with vendors, concerts, and dragon boat races. It was a nice night to walk around. We then finished it off with some coffee and called it a night!

On Saturday, we played a little golf, did some shopping, and then ate sushi! It was a great day! My parents got home around 7 and resembled that of a "whipped dog". HAHA! They did a great act of service for us and the boys loved spending time with their Me-Maw and Paw-paw! We were ready to get our hands on those boys. I had such a full and thankful heart when I went to bed Saturday, and I know that is from the Lord. So thankful for times like that!

This was from our 1 year anniversary! Ha- Noah Lee Chandler was a big one!

This is at Red River Grill celebrating our 5 year!! Love him so much!!!
