Scott and I celebrate seven years of marriage today. Scott surprised me with a little getaway to a bed and breakfast in Midway over the weekend. It was really lovely to have a little time for just the two of us, and it was fun to be able to look back at how much our lives have changed since we got married. We have been through many challenging times and have enjoyed more blessings than I could ever begin to count. It is such a privilege to have someone to go through life with, who is a wonderful provider, a fabulous husband and a really cool dad.
Over the last seven years, I can say that I gained a best friend who would hold my hand through difficult times and who would make me laugh harder than I ever imagined I could. Someone who knows how to handle my moodier moments (rare as they may be) and who supports me in whatever my wildest imagination can dream. Someone who is not afraid to be goofy, to appreciate the lighter moments in life, or to be anything less than his most authentic self. Someone who is completely comfortable in every situation he is placed in, someone who makes everyone around him feel at ease and someone who brings out the best in me.
While it seems difficult to wrap my mind around 50 years together or sitting on our front porch, gray and happy in our rocking chairs, I will gladly take what we have today. Happy Anniversary babe. I love you!
