We are on our way to Cape May today for a little weekend getaway to the place where we had our Homey-moon five years ago!!! Crossing our fingers for good beach weather!
Today, I'm posting our little relationship check-up. I tried to do this every 6 months but I missed it in February (dang!). But rather than getting upset about it, I changed the rules. I make the rules, so that's okay. Now we'll just do them once a year on our anniversary.
See our previous check-ups here:
6 months
1 year
18 months
2 years
2 1/2 years
3 years
3 1/2 years
4 years
We always answer the same set of questions but we do it separately and we don't look at previous answers, so similarities are coincidental.
5 years:
1) What is your favorite memory of the last year?
Dan: Storybook land
Steph: Going to Storybook Land for the first time. Such a magical family memory.
2) What is your favorite part of parenthood so far?
Dan: Watching Kippy play and learn new things
Steph: Experiencing new things with Kip for the first time.
3) Something you weren't expecting about parenthood.
Dan: How simple things are so enjoyable for Kippy, like just walking around the block
Steph: How truly deeply I now understand the phrase: "the days are long but the years are short."
4) Something you were pleasantly surprised by about parenthood.
Dan: The joyful feeling I get when Kippy gives me a hug before I leave for work in the morning.
Steph: How Kip's personality mirrors our own
5) Something you learned about your partner after becoming a parent.
Dan: How she will get up in the night to comfort Kip and even spend the night in his room, sacrificing a full night's sleep for him
Steph: How willing he is to sacrifice for both Kip and I. No hold backs.
6) Something to work on as a parent and a partner.
Dan: Learn how to cook more meals
Steph: Don't tally just accept that we're both good at different things and that helps balance
7) Something to look forward to.
Dan: Cape May and sleeping in on our trip
Steph: Cape May!
8) Favorite thing about your partner right now.
Dan: Steph's desire to make bucket lists and plan fun adventures for us
Steph: When he snuggles me in the morning to warm me up from the air conditioned room
