the 7 year itch

t.m.i.b. and i celebrated our 7th wedding anny (yesterday was the day; 06.05.99...it rained) we treated ourselves to a night out, just the 2 of us. dinner and movie. shocking, i know. that was like, over 4 hours of us together uninterrupted!

so we did a bit of reflecting. are you happy? yes. are you happy? yes. good. end of discussion.

ok, not really! but after all this time together (16 years total come september) there isn't anything we can't weather as long as we weather it *TOGETHER* death, alcoholism, miscarriage, bad business, near bankruptcy, debt, career change, kids and pets (gosh we sound like a soap opera!) we like to joke these days that as dire as out situation has been over the past 2 years, we're suprisingly happy people!

but we've made it. i'm not so naive to think that we've past the worst, because i know we'll have more trials and tribulations. but i know that we can make it through anything as long as we communicate, pay attention to each other and just *be* together.

it's funny i tried to find a recent pic of just the 2 of us. not an easy feat as when i'm in the picture it's usually because it's a family portrait. but i did find one...from nov 05. it's apple cup, and we've both had a bit to drink. so it's not the greatest. but it's just the 2 of us together and happy!
