Lucky Seventh Wedding Anniversary

Chris and I marked our seventh wedding anniversary on Sunday.  That number doesn't sound like a long time, but one MBA while working a full-time job, two houses, a major home renovation, one adoption times two and four kids later, we've done a lot in seven years.  Wow. 

We didn't do much to celebrate given that the four by-products of our marriage take up much of our time at this point in our lives.  Somewhere in between weekend errands, building a new railing for our deck stairs and cooking dinner, we did, however, vow to try to make more time for each other this coming year.  It's too bad that we were both at a loss for how exactly we would make that happen before we become empty-nesters.  

What I've learned over seven years is that parenting is hard, co-parenting is hard and marriage is hard.  Of course it is. That makes me that much more proud of all that Chris and I have accomplished.  And so darn thankful that I picked the right life partner.
