Seven Years???

Josh and I met seven years ago today.  To say we started from humble beginnings is probably an understatement.  To make a long story short...we were at a bar, his food looked good so I started talking to him about it, we made out a few hours later (not at the bar of course), I swore it would never become anything...but obviously I was wrong about that.  Over the next few months (and now years), Josh and I grew into each other and into our relationship.  Above all, he made me a better person than I was before I met him and I made him a better person than he was before as well (he says that too).  As we grew as people, we had a lot of fun, fell in love, got married, and now have a beautiful life to show for it. 
I am so proud of the life we have built together.  I love coming home to my best friend each night, and I could not have picked someone better to share the journey of parenthood with.  Sure, we still have fights here and there (especially with the advent of parenthood), but we get through it because, well, because we love each other and at the end of the day, I know my life is better because I share it with my wonderful husband. 

aaahhh...the early days

Frequently, I think back to those early days of our relationship.  I think back to the days where we barely knew each other, when it took a drink to get a good conversation going (my husband is very shy).  In those early days, I swore Josh and I were "just having fun."  Well, we have had fun...tons of fun...but we also have done so much more than that.  I made Josh take this survey a few months ago as we were sitting around watching tv to test how well he really knows me.  In honor of our seven years, I figured today was a good day to share it:
