5 years and counting

Five years ago today I walked off an airplane in Honolulu for the first time. It seems like a lifetime ago. When I think back on everything that's happened in the last five years I feel like I'm a completely different person, and I probably am.

I picked out some pics from each of the 5 years - I tried to hit some highlights which was a pretty interesting experience in itself. SOOOO many memories! It was also funny to watch the progression of Dave's photography skills and then the sudden absence of any pics as I had to start remembering to have a camera with me all of a sudden - which was actually a pretty funny thing to realize had become such a habit!
