7 Years Ago

1 year ago today, we were enjoying our time at home with our baby, the beginning of a new chapter in our love story.

2 years ago today, we went out to our place for dinner. It’s not fancy but it’s us.

3 years ago today, I cooked you a special meal, complete with a small replica of our wedding cake.

4 years ago today, we had a picnic supper on the floor of our under-construction kitchen. We talked and shared our dreams about what this home would one day become.

5 years ago today, I was at the beach for an evening botany class and you were planting clams. We didn’t see each other until after 10pm, and I picked up fried seafood, which we ate cold.

6 years ago today, we were up in Maine. I spent hours searching for treasures on the beach under the bridge and you humored me. The weather was unusually beautiful, and we napped on a quilt in the sunshine.

7 years ago today, we exchanged vows, knowing in our hearts that we are each other’s best friend and one true love.

Happy Anniversary to my Country Man!
