Well, we've made it this far and we're still going strong!! Today marks our 7 year anniversary and I couldn't be happier! I recall people telling me that they'd been married for 7 years and thinking, "Wow, they're really old," and I'm hoping I don't illicit that same response from the people I've told. Even so, life is wonderful. I've heard rumors of the "7 year itch" or the "7 year slump." I'm planning to avoid such itches and slumps and I have high hopes of them not paying me a visit.
Aaron's and my 7 years together have been filled with wonderful shared memories. Of course there was the actual wedding day-magical, and the obvious memories of the births of our two perfect children, building our home, vacations, etc. But what about the little things?? What about the times we sat outside around a campfire, underneath the stars, talking about our future? Or the times we would cuddle together on the couch and watch a rented movie?? Singing along to the radio together in the car? And the time Aaron used Desitin on Maya's face because he mistook it for lotion? LOL! (Just had to throw that one in)
It's always so sad when I stop and think of how much I'm afraid of forgetting. Just like watching our children grow up way too fast, there are so many wonderful moments in my marriage that seem to slip away from me too. I wish there was a way of recording it all to play back anytime I wanted. My wedding is on DVD and I find myself watching it fairly frequently recalling the feelings I felt for Aaron that day and the nerves and the excitement and the dreams of our future together. If only my whole life with him could be captured that way. We've shared so many special times together that I wish I could experience them all over again.........again & again.
I can only look to the future, however, and attempt to remember what I can of our past together. I can't wait to find out what great treasures await us as we continue on life's adventure.
