Seven year itch?



Yesterday was Kolby's and my 7 year wedding anniversary.  I did some research online and found out that it qualified me for one wool/copper gift.  I'm so glad Kolby went with his gut and got me flowers and not a wool sweater or some copper-topped batteries.  I had to include a picture or two of the flowers because they were so beautiful!  Yellow roses (the first flower he bought me), Gerber Daisies (my favorite flowers), and tulips (our wedding flowers).  All day long, I just kept walking into the kitchen to take a whiff!  So much has changed in seven years - Our early days of marriage were filled with lots of late-night dates, trips and vacations at a moment's notice, and, of course, child-free uninterrupted sleep!  Now it's a challenge to stay up past ten, the only thing we do at a moment's notice these days is take one of our sick girlies to the doctor, and I think last night was our first date in, well lets just call it months!  But the one thing that hasn't changed for us in seven years - we are still butt-crazy in love with each other!  Bring on the next seven baby!

So Sweet! I am glad he got you beautiful flowers and not copper topped batteries :) I have to say there is something about knowing someone so well you can put on you fav. p.j. and just cozy up together and laugh at all the fun things your kids have done or crazy people you met that day. Those times are better than dinner and a movie anyday! I love being married. I think every year gets better. Congrats to you and may your next seven be just as great!

It seems like we all were still kids in high school, I can't believe you have been married 7 years. Mine will be 8 in July we are all getting so old. Your kids are so cute. We have steep hills around our house also. They ride every toy we have down for fun.. In the summer we set the slip-n-slide down it, the kids have a blast.

Did you say butt-crazy... I think that is a little to much info... J/K
It is good to hear some lingo I understand once and a while.
I didn't realize you got married a year after I did... so I looked in my scrapbooky, and sure enough, I have your wedding invitation in it with the date and everything. I didn't get to go to your wedding because we lived in Michigan. (I wish I could have been there!) Anyway, happy anniversary!
email me and let me know what problems you are having with the Heritage Makers. There should never be any problems no matter what computer you are on. And if you ever need help on a book, I am more than willing to get you going on one... I love making the pages and helping out that way.
