Doesn't Seem Like Seven Years

Today is our seventh wedding anniversary. Doesn't seem like seven years. Pardon this personal post, but I just want to greet my husband a beautiful and happy seventh wedding anniversary. Seven years but I haven't felt the itch yet. LOL

I've been organizing my pictures and stumbled across our wedding photos. Pardon the grainy images; these were merely scanned, but the original photos are clear, crisp and poignantly beautiful.





Wish I'd known about acrylic tips during those days!




Trivia: my lipstick was the vintage shade of Revlon in Toast of New York! =D











We've had our ups and downs, but we have been blessed with fortitude, strength and resiliency despite the tough journey. Looking back, I really am grateful to God for the seven blessed years. And to my husband, I've always said that this song by Rascal Flatts (with Carrie Underwood) encompasses all I'd wanted to tell him.

Every long lost dream
Led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart
They were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way
Into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.


Here's to another seven times seventy years, hun!

izumi- thank you! 7 years of married life is no small feat, so I am just thankful for every day that goes by.

Nikki- Thank you, and I can see that you're happily married as well, so congrats and stay happy. :)

Cheryl Anne- advanced Happy Anniv to you as well. Time surely does fly fast. Thank you; it's called an illusion tulle I think. :)

Nikki- we sure have a lot in common- same school, same love for MMU and polishes, same wedding year and we also have one precious pumpkin. :) Advanced happy anniv!

Phyrra- thank you girl! :)

Halifax- do I look so drastically different now? lol

Chrystal- thank you, and we all are blessed. :)

cjbrownsc- wow 17 years! Congratulations and keep the marriage bonds strong. :)

gio and vivian- thank you! We might have a budget for the rest of the wedding paraphernalia but we didn't scrimp on two things: the photos and the rings because those are the two things that will be left after the entire shebang is over.

belle- thank you!! :)

Vanessa- thanks girl! You look gorgeous yourself and hope to see you again soon!

Liz W- guess there were a lot of us who got hitched in '02. :) Congratulations and advanced Happy Anniversary to you and your hubby. Aww, you still remember the day he proposed! Seems like an amazing bond and wishing you lots more years of happiness.

Happy Anniversary to you and your hubby! OMG, I love your wedding pics. I always get so jealous when I see others wedding pictures and/or go to weddings. my hubby and I had a very basic ceremony. I live vicariously through everyone else =).

You looked so radiant in your pictures. God bless and many more years to come for you and your hubby.

I'm hittin' 7 years this year also in May. Man, doesn't it feel like you've been together forever?
