5 years

This year Mr. Incredible and I will be celebrating 5 years of marriage!
{August 2006, celebrating our engagement, admit it, you love my red eyes lol}
.
I felt convicted awhile back about taking vacations. People in Africa are starving to death, why should I drop thousands just for pleasure? Just plain wrong.
.
I decided that we would vacay just for big anniversaries, and other trips would be mission trips, (with maybe one family trip for pleasure, say Disney, one day).
.
We were planning on a trip for our 5th and 10th anniversaries, and so forth.
..
Well here we are a few short months away from our anniversary: buying/fixing up/decorating a new house, and starting our second adoption. Obviously both of these are very exciting and totally worth it, but it leaves our hands tied for our anniversary this April.
.
I think it is very important to make a big celebration of our anniversaries. Marriage is worth celebrating!
.
Any ideas as to how we can celebrate our anniversary without spending big bucks? I really wanted to go to Boston or Disney, but both trips would cost about 2k, (and that's only for a weekend trip). I want it to be really special since its our 5th...

  1. go to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico (not too far away!) or Big Bend National Park which is a few hours south west of you. I used to live in Odessa...both are close by and still "far away."

  2. No idea... Anything done together in celebration makes it special :)
