Year 5 // The Wood Anniversary

And just like that, another year has passed (crying at how much Nori has grown)! Nick and my 5th wedding anniversary and 16 years together will be one to remember, even though we celebrated it quietly with takeout surrounded by unpacked boxes. We have an annual tradition to return to where we exchanged vows for a commemorative photo in my wedding shoes, but since the Boston public library is closed, we did what we could outside of the building : ) For our “wood anniversary,” Nick made me a wooden frame of relics and blueprints from our beloved first home that we just parted with, which I will treasure.

I’ve had this super affordable white eyelet dress for over a year now (did a detailed review in this post) and had previously recommended it for everyday wear or engagement / bridal activities and photos. I didn’t expect it to be so forgiving that it would still fit on my 6 month pregnant belly, so that’s certainly been a bonus! Heads up: make sure to check the estimated delivery date before ordering, because some sizes and colors in this dress are sold out on Prime and would take weeks to ship!

Took one with our face masks to remember these crazy times! Btw I usually wear these adorable reusable masks handmade by my friend Khatu (I order size Small), but since I had a face full of makeup on, I didn’t want to dirty those up that day.

Here’s a walk down memory lane from over the years! Oh how quickly those baby Nori days flew by.
