7 Years and counting

This day, 7 years ago...at 3pm in the afternoon...Jeremy and I started our married life. It's been amazing,  and by far the biggest adventure I've decide to take in life.


Babe, I don't have a lot of deep reflection to share on this particular anniversary.  We've been through so much in recent weeks...that when I think about being emotional and reflective about our life...there isn't a multi-tude of feelings to talk about. Not because the feelings aren't there...but maybe b/c of what we've been through recently...my emotions are on overload a bit. Or maybe in light of the last couple weeks, my feelings are simplified...less complicated. Because today... when I relfected...I just had one simple thought that overwhelmed everything else. Thankfulness.

Today I simply feel thankful. Thankful for you. For our health. For our lives. For another October 15th to share and reflect. For the little things like your shirts in our laundry...for the way Cooper tries to wear your sandals on his own two feet...for the way I see you in both our boys...for how excited Owen gets when your car pulls up in the drive...for finding your warm legs under the covers in the middle of the night...that you fall asleep with the TV on, but down so low you can't hear it...for the tiny, simple things, for the big, important things. For all of it...I'm simply thankful. For the past 7 years of married life we have shared.  I'm blessed for our experiences and our journey. 

In honor of our anniversary, I went back and re-read a few of my older posts from past anniversaries.  My favorite is a toss up between this one from 2010 and this one from 2011.

Thanks for another wonderful year Jer.  I'm glad it's you and me. Like it always has been. Like it always will be. Love you so much.
