My, how time flies...

Seven years ago today I wore a white gown, said ‘I do’ and began the rest of my life with the only person with whom I could ever imagine sharing such a grand adventure. Our wedding day itself, despite how quickly it flew by, seems like only yesterday. But when I stop and look at all that has happened in the last seven years, I’m shocked it actually hasn’t been longer. As a newly married couple, you have the rest of your lives ahead of you and the possibilities of what the future holds are truly endless. It’s a wondrous time in life & one that I love to see in the couples I work with each day. For me & my husband, it seems as though our lives have been full speed ahead since Day 1. In our first year of marriage alone, we bought our first car, bought our first home, bought a business & changed careers and found out we were expecting our first child. Since that first year, we haven’t really slowed down. A job change for my husband and our second child combined with lots of travel and commuting has made for busy, busy lives - but I wouldn’t want it any other way. Like every couple, we’ve had our ups & downs, our highs & lows but I can truly, honestly say that I’m just as happy, if not more so, than that very first day. With everything we’ve experienced together as well as watching our family grow has brought us closer together, taught us more about each other and given me a multitude of new reasons to love him even more. He’s a wonderful, thoughtful, caring husband and father, and I am so lucky to have him in my life. Happy Anniversary, babe…I can’t wait to see what the next 7 (or 70) years have in store. And to all you newly married, or engaged, couples out there - enjoy the adventure!
