seven-year itch
well, as of today jenn and i have been married for 7 years. wow. it's gone insanely fast, especially the last 2 or 3 years. but it's also gone slow -- looking back, so much has happened it MUST have gone slow, right?
we've been together over 10 years now, and married for 7. in that time, we've bought houses, got dogs, had two beautiful kids, gone through the deaths of close family members, moved from michigan to california and back (what the hell were we thinking on that one?), and did i mention the wonderful kids? our cups truly runneth over.
with that, at the risk of embarrassing jenn (and myself, given the ribbing i am bound to take from my macho friends) in a public forum, i have an anniversary message for her:
i love you more now than ever. i'm so glad i chose you, and i'm more glad that you could see through the
marriage-phobic twentysomething that i used to be, and that you are still willing to put up with me even
with all my idiosyncrasies! we have a beautiful family, and you are the main reason our kids are the
wonderful little people they are. i am definitely looking forward to the next seven years and more itching.
(maybe i can get some cream for that.) (just kidding. given where we live, the only itch i am feeling is
most likely a bug bite. :p) i hope that we have many more "seven years" ahead.
time for a little before and after. who'd have guessed that this:
would ever turn into this?

sorry, when a guy puts himself out there like that, you can’t come back all smart-ass without getting hit with some serious penalties from your wife and mom and sister. good call on holding off. ;)
can i sign up for some sort of email or SMS alert when the edge of the cliff is coming?

Drop by to say “hi” if you ever swing down to campus.

Been sitting here trying to think up some smart ass remark…oh well. Congrats!
Reminder, I have a few days on your for this marriage thing so I will let you know when I see the edge of the cliff. You will probably have time to stop.
