7 Lucky Years

It's my ANNIVERSARY!!!!!

Wow, how time flies!....7yrs!!! I spent some time looking at some old pictures today, they made me laugh and cry. Thinking about the past, the memories we shared. I figured I'd write a little bit about how me and Jay met. It was 1997 (I was 17) and we met through a mutual male friend. I was dating someone at the time, and the mutual friend was both a friend of my boyfriend, and of Jay...though my boyfriend and Jay did not know each other. (did that make sense?). Anywho, I ended up leaving my boyfriend at the time for Jay. Me and Jay were together only 6weeks before I had to leave to be an exchange student in Brazil. It was really hard doing the long distance thing, and even harder to keep our relationship going when I came back 6months later. Our love got us through the tough times and we got engaged on Valentines day of 1999. He proposed to me in the car (it was Feb.) at Glen Falls. We got married 8-11-01, and have lived happily ever after....kinda.... The last 7yrs have had a lot of great moments, of course the birth of our kids being the best moments. There have also been some really hard times, like the death of Jay's Dad. I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about it. Even though he wasn't my own Dad, he was as close as they come, and loved me like a daughter, I miss him every day, and it kills me that my kids never got to meet him. On a up note, in the last 7yrs we've bought a house together, and made a happy life together. It's crazy that we've known each other for over 10yrs...but a good crazy.

Here's to 7+ more years of great times together! (and yes, those are flamed champagne glasses)
