7 Happy Years



Joe and I celebrated our 7th wedding Anniversary yesterday! Now, I'm sure you're expecting me to write a bunch of mushy-gushy sentiments at this point... and since I have such a servants heart, I wouldn't want to disappoint you! =) We have had the best years of our lives these past 7 years, and it gets sweeter and better every day. We can't even look back on the years and remember one real fight between us. Our household is one of no bickering, no bad attitudes (unless you count Magnus on a teething day!) and no harsh words. We are so very happy, and no, you can't move in with us. As a bonus, last night as Joe and I were walking hand-in-hand to the barn (after Magnus was in bed) to let the horses out to pasture, we talked of our happy life and gazed at the stars. All the sudden Joe said, "Look at that!!" As we watched, this amazing shooting star went across the sky like a brilliant firework. It was unlike any we'd ever seen, and we stared after it long after it had gone. It was a definite blazing white ball, with a perfect tail that was first blue, then red at the last half. It appeared to leave it's colorful tail behind it at one point which looked as if it sparked out, then it disappeared also. We were completely awestruck, and will never forget it. I thanked God for such a lovely "heavenly" anniversary gift!
