7 years and counting

On August 6th Jon and I celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary. We took the kids to my parents for Friday night and we spent some quality time together. We went to our favorite restaurant Carrabba's , we got the Sirloin Marsala and the Italian chicken pizza with pine nuts. It was delicious. Then we headed to the Scerra to see the play "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor dreamcoat." It was a Vegas setting play and it wasn't our favorite. It was okay entertainment but not the best we have been too. We then rented the movie, New in Town, it was okay as well but it did have some funny lines. The next morning we went to a yummy little bakery in town called Flour Girls and Dough Boys. We got cranberry turkey and ham breakfast sandwiches and a big fat sticky bun to share. That place is soooo good. That night we took the kids to Jon's 10 year high school reunion. It was a family picnic at the park. Jon had fun visiting with some friends he hadn't seen in a while. It was a great couple of days.

Seven years can really fly by. I can still remembering our wedding day like it was yesterday. To me it was the most perfect day. I remember kneeling across the altar from Jon and the spirit that was there. We smiled so much that day that both of our jaws hurt. There have been a lot of ups and downs and sideways, I can say I think we have seen every which way. But no matter which way life sends us we always get through it. We love each other and we love our kids and the life we have built together. In 7 years we have gone from two people just starting out, not really knowing what we were going to do or be, To 4 people who love and support each other. We still don't know where life will take us because we have realized we are not always in control. But we do know that we will do it together. I love you Jon.

I tried on my wedding dress for Jon and the kids last month. Calvin really wanted me to put on the princess dress. So I pulled it out and worried that it wouldn't zip up, but it did! Yay, it still fits. Calvin loved it, he told me I was the prettiest princess ever, he is so cute.
