While in DisneyWorld, Mark and I celebrated our seven year anniversary which happens to coincide with my 28th (cough cough) birthday. It was awesome to spend our day in Disney World. We got the Happy Birthday/Anniversary Buttons which we wore proudly. We received well-wishings from loads of people and even got serenaded from the German band in Germany at Epcot. I think Mark could have eaten there every day, morning, noon and night if we had let him.
Mark had roses in our room when we got back from the park. We walked around the park, just like we did seven years ago on our honeymoon. All lovey dovey and gross.
The past seven years. WOW. It has been a trip. Right out of the gate it has been a roller coaster. Pregnant on our honeymoon (yes, it was planned), being laid off while pregnant, starting a business, economy imploding, another baby, cancer scares, new jobs, surgeries, etc etc etc. It's so easy to name all the stressful stuff but it's harder to name the great stuff. Why is that? It's sad that the harder, stressful stuff sticks in your brain easier than the happy, wonderful stuff. Enough with the word "stuff."
With dating + marriage, we have almost ten years under our belts and it doesn't feel anywhere close to that. It has been amazing. I was writing a list of all the wonderful awesome things that have happened and some of them are too intimate to share but just know, the list of awesome/fantastic/wonderful things is 100 times longer than the stressful list.
To many more years together, to many more children (hopefully), to many more laughs, loves, arguments, hugs, kisses, and irritations. I love you, Mark. So so so much.
