Did ya know that Mr. T and I have been married for SEVEN years?
Umyeah. As of April 3rd, we’ve hit the big seven and are bracing ourselves for the supposed seven year itch.

Speaking of the seven year itch, do you think the myth could be, or is, true?
This is a question, by the way, that I would really like answered.
I’ve heard many a story that make the “Itch” sound true…. but what do you think? Any experiences that you would like to share?

Well, anyhow. I cannot believe that we have been married for seven years. I was twenty three when we were married and at the time I could not imagine for one second that we would ever really age beyond that point. I know that I “dreamt” of growing old with him… but I don’t think I actually pictured growing physically old. Growing old, to me, was about the number of years we would be together. At the time I couldn’t imagine ever reaching the age of thirty, for cryin’ out loud! I remember that age being such a distant nightmare that my mind couldn’t even wrap itself around the concept. Twenty freaking three. How dumb was I? How young was I to even consider myself even close to being ready to get hitched? Oh well. What’s done is done and, of course, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Literally.

Being married has been like riding the most fun and scary roller-coaster ever. There has been lots of ups, loopduhloo’s, and a few (read: more than I’ve liked) downs. Even though I think seven years is a long time, I know that in reality it certainly is not. For instance, I still look at Tyson sometimes and can’t believe that I have a husband and that he is him. (Did that make sense? Did that even make grammatical sense?)

If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, you know that Mr. T and I have been put through The Ringer, and then a few more ringers, over the last year and a half. But, look! We are still a we and what is it they say? Oh, yeah…. “That which does not kill us only makes us stronger.” So far so true. I hope this next year finds us outside any sort of ringer…(Which means that my upcoming foot surgery had better go well.)

Happy Anniversary to Us!
…And many, many more!
