...ago today I pulled off the con of the century. No, I didn't rob 3 casinos at once and carry 110 million dollars out the front door, or steal a priceless Romanov/Faberge egg, but I convinced the perfect woman to marry me. This is a textbook "long con" mainly because 5 years is a long time, and the con is just getting started...
It's remarkable really, that someone as beautiful, intelligent, funny, patient, loving, sweet, could be so easily convinced to lower her standards, but what can I say - I am pretty convincing. Not only did I get Kristen to marry me though, she still loves me after everything that we have been through, which is almost a greater task, and she willing gave me 2 priceless little ones who make the time fly by.
It has been an interesting 5 years filled with 1 dog (rest in peace Denny), 2 unexpected hospital stays (C-Diff colitis, and a Kidney infection), 3 houses, 4 moves, 5 job titles and I can't count beyond that... There have been lots of fun, exciting, crappy, annoying, and just plain random things that happened in 5 years of marriage, and truth be told - I wouldn't change any of it.
I know it probably sounds cliche or sappy, but I don't care - you don't have to read on - if the rest of my life was like the last 5 years I would be totally happy. Maybe not exactly like the last 5 years as that could get rather repetitive, but not much would need to change.
Thanks for being my perfect "mark" honey, and I hope the con goes on forever.

You're sweet, but you're wrong. I didn't lower my standards...they went UP...(as those of you who knew me 2001-2002 will agree). You are pretty convincing though, as you can sell me on almost anything if you really want to, and I will agree that it has been an interesting yet fabulous 5 years. I am definitely not as good with words are you are, so I will say "ditto" to your post (well, the sappy parts), and say that I love you more than anything, and can't wait to read more sweet & sappy posts that make me cry in the years to come. Please bless that it's for lots of years to come. I like lots. Con away.
that is so sweet! you guys are a great couple!
Happy Anniversary! I think you married a great woman too. Good job! Love you guys!
Congratz on 5 years :) hope you have many many more to come... and you better not drop out of scouts till i am out because you are one of the only people in the world that understand me.
