Can it really be? Why yes I think sooo...

Seven Years

 

One of our first photos together.

Don't we look so young and slim???

 

 

I can hardly believe we've been married seven years.

Al had just gotten his car, we've had some great adventures and memories in that car.
Just wanted to take a stroll down memory lane...
Most of these photos are the fifteen months that we dated.

Not sure who got Al to laugh but I love his smile.

Our first road trip together.

Dream come true to see a Dodger's game.

Stewart Falls, in Utah

Met up with Al's parents in Salt Lake City.
I have the best Father in law who took us for a ride
around the city. I was so excited I think I was the
first one to get on.

First time meeting Al's brother and his family.

Getting our first Christmas Tree.

Our first Christmas Together.

My grandma made Al a birthday cake.

My grandparents invited us to a church dinner.

Aren't they so cute together?

My grandpa and "us"


We've had our joys, laughter and even sadness.

The night we got engaged, a night full of joy and surprise! 

 

I remember we had only been married eighteen months

 

and had met our new neighbors who had been married

 

for seven years and I remember them being so sweet together

 

who had no children.

 

Here, we are in a similar situtaion.

 

I've been thinking about marriage lately and how you go in with faith

 

and have hope that you've picked a spouse that will always be by your side

 

especially when the thunderstorms come because they will come.

 

Will you have picked someone who will leave you feeling

alone in the drenching rain?

 

or have you done good and picked someone who will hold

your hand and guide you out of the storm and help dry you off.

 

Will they be there when the sunshine comes out?

 Be that special someday to enjoy the rainbows with.

 

As each year goes by I realize how blessed

I am to share my life experiences

with this great man I've been given.

He continues to show me time after time

that he is by my side

and that we are a TEAM

 

We don't have a perfect marriage

I've come to the conclusion that doesn't exist 

 I'm not perfect and have many many flaws

but in these years I've grown so much as a person

beyond what I thought was possible

 

We are two opposites with all our

strengths and weaknessess

to become one unit.

 

 

Looking forward to what the future brings

with many more years of adventures together.
