Seven Years

Look at us... 7 years and we've still got it goin' on! Oh yeah, baby :).

We celebrated 7 years of marital bliss last night. Our anniversary was actually Sunday, but we celebrated it Monday (gotta take advantage of free childcare when you've got it!). We enjoyed the change of scenery and the private conversations without interruption or distraction. One of our favorite things to do together is to dream, and we were able to do some of that. In many ways, we're different people than we were when we tied the knot... but we love each other more than ever (sounds cliche, I know). Sometimes I look at him and think "who are you? you're not the guy I married!" But it's (usually :)) with a sense of thankfulness and awe. I think without realizing it, he constantly surprises me in big and small ways.

I sat across from Jeremy at dinner last night and thought... "man, I really love this guy!" But more than that... I really like him too. And more than that, I like us. When we got married it was just Jeremy and Andrea - two seperate entities with an 'and' denoting association. And there is still just Jeremy and just Andrea. But there's this third dynamic too, it's jeremyandandrea (for correct pronunciation, say it really fast). The two of us partnered together (partners in love, in parenting, in ministry, in paying bills, in making supper) become this unquantifiable dynamic that is really good too.

Plus, he's really good looking :).
