Lucky # 7

Madelyn has had a rough couple of days with the 500 teeth that are popping through her gums right now. This also means she's had a rough couple of nights. Last night was no different. She woke up a few hours after I put her down and Mike brought her to me in the bed. As I nursed her back to sleep I heard the grandfather clock chiming. It was midnight, which meant it was our anniversary. 7 years of memories flooded my head as I laid in my crowded king sized bed. So much has happened in such a short amount of time, including the three best moments of my life, the day I married you and the moment I held these two precious girls for the first time. 

It all started that first day of school in 2001. Biology quickly became my favorite class because of you. Two proms, tons of concerts, college, and a sweet marriage proposal later and just like that, seven years have past. 

A lot of crazy things have happened too, like moving to a different town and spending the last two years living with my parents. New jobs, new dreams, new friends. Looking back we had no idea what that move was going to be like or how long it was going to take us to sell our house. Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry. But here we are, still kicking it and supporting each other in this crazy thing called life. I'm so excited to see what this year brings for us, and so ready to experience it with you by my side.   

Time flies when you're having fun!
