Today is our 7th anniversary!
I can't believe it has already been 7 years. It went by so quickly. When did life speed up so much?!! Our seven years of marriage have been as long as both my high school and college years combined, and it went by so much faster!
Even though it has flown by in a flash, after 7 years of marriage it also seems like we've spent a whole lifetime together. Life doesn't really even begin until you get married. You really don't become yourself, completely, until you get married. At least that was the case for me. I feel so blessed to have found such an amazing man who wanted to spend eternity with me (and all my crazy!!)
He could have chosen someone much prettier, (or definitely someone tanner), and I know there are plenty of babes out there who could have made him really great breakfasts (which I don't). . .but he picked me anyway!
Most people don't know Mike very well, not even my family, because he is pretty closed off and pretty anti-social. He doesn't let people in very easily, in fact, he keeps almost everyone at arms length. I don't know how I got so lucky that he actually put down his bridge and let me come over to the "Island that is Michael." But, I just want to say to all of you who know me and haven't ever really gotten to know him, that the last 7 years have definitely shown me that marrying him was the best decision I ever made. . .and just meeting him was truly the greatest thing that has happened in my entire life!
Mike is an awesome husband. And I have fallen in love with him more and more as I've watched him be an incredible Dad to our two sons. I think he is so sexy when he's tucking the kids in bed and singing them bedtime songs!
The truth is, today there probably won't be any flowers or chocolates or romantic, candlelit dinners. But, my husband is patient and kind every day, he helps take care of the kids every day, he brings me a cherry coke at lunch every day, and he is willing to do anything I ask (and I have asked for a lot from him lately.) I mean, what better celebration of our marriage is there than that!!
