7 Years and Counting

So it's been 7 years since Jeff and I took the plundge in the Houston Temple. 3 kids, 2 bachelor degrees, 1 MBA and 7 different moves later...I'd say we're doing pretty darn good. It's crazy how much you can pack in, in just a few short years. I thought about my life 6 years ago. A working woman (teaching 5th grade at Sprucewood Elementary in Sandy, UT) with no diapers to change, Cheerios to clean up, or cars to frequently vaccum (ok, the vaccuming is more wishful thinking). And the amount of laundry was definitly a nothin'. Sometimes it's hard to realize there really was such a time. I am, however, thankful for these little ones I have to scrub down every now and then. (I'm always thankful for them and the scrubbing down part is a here and there deal. No, we don't do baths everyday). Though I love my kids, this is a post about my sweetheart and I.

I do have to say, I think the year 2000 is the best year to be married because we'll never need to do the math on how many years we've been married. The date, I have to admit, is a little more difficult for me to remember. I'm usually one day off. We were married on the 18th of Nov. Sydney was born the 19th of October, so for that reason I always think we we're married on the 19th. Jeff will be the one to get mad at me for not remembering such a memorable day. I'm glad he can take that role. It shows me he really does love me and that an anniversary should be meaningful. So he remembers it and then I can blog about it 2 months later.

It really was a memorable day. Kind of some interesting haps, but in the grand scheme of things they were pretty minute (mi-nute?). It rained on our wedding day and even on our honeymoon in Cancun. I have heard that rain brings good luck. Or it's just another way of saying too bad for you, just make the most of it...so we did.

Thanks for sticking with me, you great guy!

Here's to another 7...and more...(we're not all that creative with couple photo shoots).

Happy Anniversary, Jeffrey!
