Lucky Number Seven

| | Comments (30)

The true success of a marriage lies not in looking just at each other, but in looking forward together.
-- author unknown, at least by me.

Today is the occasion of my 7th anniversary of marriage to the most truly special man I know.

The man who went out and bought me 2 dozen red roses to start my morning with.

The man who never lets me give up on myself.

The man who is the eternal optimist who always sees the good in people.

The man who understands when I am difficult, that it is not personal.

The man who sees my potential even when I don't.

The man who patiently indulges my constant discussion about buying a sheep.

The man who walks by an empty store front in a nice neighborhood and says "that would be a great place for a yarn store".

The man who has graciously consented to let me knit him stripey sweaters and socks.

The man who has never failed me, but also knows when a little tough love is required.

The man who still makes me feel like I am walking on air when he is around.

The man who will play video games with me until the wee hours of the morning.

The man who I know, no matter what else happens, will always be with me.

The man who has so many good and wonderful qualities that I could write this list all day and still not have written about everything.

The man I want to look forward with forever.

I love you, Jasiu. I've never made a better decision in my life than to spend my life with you.

Happy 7th anniversary and the many many more to come! I like that you didn't say yours is the greatest husband in the world ... we don't need competition for husbands ... they just need to be great to us. :)

Awwwwww, video games all night...I finally started doing that with my husband, and amazingly enough, it's extremely fun even though I've never played a video game in my life. With him, it's always fun :-)

Except I'm tired, a lot...

Happy happy anniversary, and I'm so glad to read about another person who has found The One. Many many more happy days into years for both of you!

Sooo sweet! Happy anniversary!! Certainly your husband entertaining your discussions of buying sheep is the litmus test of love. I'll have to try that one. :)

Happy Anniversary! I'm comforted that the hubby and I aren't the only ones who stay up all night playing video games together! Thanks for sharing your tribute. It feels so good to know that there are other couples out there who love each other in a way that doesn't lose it's freshness with time.
