Seven Years of Wedded Bliss(ters)

Bliss:
  • Family grows - A gorgeous 10-pound baby girl with blue eyes and brown hair, just what we dreamed!
  • A shoulder to cry on
  • A friend
  • Second income!
  • Family trips to a ballgame
Blisters:
  • Watching our baby go through two surgeries before the age of three
  • Heart problems
  • Job loss
  • Several wrecks
  • Deaths in the extended families
  • Late nights with a sick child
  • Disagreements over minor things, and some major things
  • Dreams put on hold
  • Four moves in five years
More Bliss:
  • Family movie night
  • Sitting on the "Perry Pew" at church with my husband by my side and my daughter in my lap
  • Teaching Angelyn to swim and watching her run around laughing and screaming, "No more floaties!"
  • Receiving love notes from my kindergartener that read, "I love you Mommy you are the Best and I love you" and then watching her write the same one for her Daddy
  • Hubby sees how tired I am and tells me to go lay down and he will tend to putting Angelyn to bed
  • Hugs on demand, and sometimes unexpected
  • New Dreams
  • Amazing jobs
  • Anticipated move
  • Mommy's Night Out With The Girls
  • Family
Here's to seven(ty) more years of wedded BLISS!  Happy Anniversary (on Sunday), Johnny!

I love you.
