Today is Gregg & my 7th wedding anniversary. Seems like just yesterday and seems like a lifetime ago. I remember on my wedding day feeling like a princess and Gregg was my prince. It was such an amazing day - probably the most precious day of my life thus far (even trumps the birth of my kids...by just a little). Little did I know all that would unfold in the next 7 years!
Much has changed since we got married; We've got a mini-van instead of a beat-up, oil burning, seen better days pick-up truck. We have a computer that was made in the 21st century. I'm a stay-at-home, homescho
oling mom instead of working downtown and Gregg is working 2nd shift instead of 1st shift. We've changed churches. Gregg's dad & my grandpa passed away during the past 7 years. 9/11 had just happened so our economic & world climate is different. Of course, the biggest change are the 3 beautiful, funny, high-energy kids we have been blessed to have.
But much hasn't changed. We still live in our 2 bedroom townhouse (that is almost paid for!!), we still love watching football together on Sunday afternoons, we still love God... & I am still married to the sweetest man I ever met.
We've had our ups and downs over the past 7 years but time has only deepened my love for him. While we don't always have time these days to do all the fun, crazy things we did when we were dating, he is still my guy and my rock. He grounds me when my emotions want to go out of control. He has been there with me through 3 pregnancies, 3 births (that I would not have made it through if it weren't for him!), 3 infants & now 3 little ones. He is so wise when it comes to spending money and making decisions and I am so thankful for that! God knew I needed someone who was easy-going and laid back to balance out my more type-A, emotional personality.
Thanks God for Gregg and for 7 years of marriage! I pray for many more years of Sunday afternoon football, love and laughter together!
