Seven years down, A hundred more to go....

The hubster and I just celebrated our 7-year Wedding Anniversary on November 8th. CRAZY! It seems like just yesterday he was the cute new kid in my junior year History class that I politely invited to sit next to me (not because he was a cutie, but because I didn't want the new guy feeling awkward on his first day in public school, ever, in his whole life). I can't exactly pinpoint where, but I have heard it said that most married couples won't make it to 7 years. Really? I mean, I just don't get it. Well, actually I do, because marriage is not easy. Steven and I dated for three years before we got married at the ripe ol' age of 20 and man did we still have a lot to learn about each other. Our marriage has taken work...hard work! But, I can honestly say that seven years ago, when I said, "Till death do us part", I meant it! And he better not go and die before I do, or I will be one angry bride, but that's another story! It's just my opinion, but I really don't think people take marriage as seriously as they did in our great grandparents days. Back then, the big "D" was almost unheard of. I feel like adults these days change their partners as often as they change their underwear! They go into marriage with the idea that if it doesn't make them completely happy all the time, they'll just get out. They give up too easily. Steven and I have talked about it, and we agree, it's not even an option for us, never will be, end of story. We've had rough times, I mean, very, very, hard times, but we love each other through them and I think our relationship has been made stronger because of them. My sister's Facebook Status update today read: "Marriage is not 50/50, it's 100/100, both individual's giving 100% to the cause. If you're not giving it your all, it will not succeed." I like it and it's so true. I just have to say that if the past 7 years are any indication of what next One-hundred hold, we are in good shape!

On our Wedding Day......


Seven Years later and still looking Good!!!
