7 years.
(as seen in Creating Keepsakes Artistic Effects book series)
7 years. Of love and friendship. Ups and downs. Good and bad. Communicating and totally lacking communication. Laughter and tears. Dirty dishes and dirty diapers and dog poop. Life and death. Bliss and pain. Dining out and dining in. Holidays and everydays. Silence and noise. Changing perspective, changing religion, changing homes, changing jobs, changing lifestyles, changing diets, changing needs, changing desires, changing wants, realizing dreams. A million transitions.
Of peace and fury. Supporting. Challenging. Building a home. Building trust. Of walking that fine line.
Of searching and finding and searching again. Learning who we really are and growing into who we want to be. Becoming stronger as individuals. Letting one another grow and develop and become. Giving the gift of self-discovery. Of just being. Of patience.
7 years of you and me. Together. Sometimes far apart. Sometimes too far. But always together.
Moving forward. To today. And tomorrow. And whatever comes next...
Wow.. 7 years! Congrats.. and am I counting this right? EIGHT bridesmaids?? Wow. That seems like so many to me.. but I only had two.

Congratulations - Wishing you and Chris 7 times 7 more years of loving and growing. (You may laugh at this 7x7 Ali - but this is #34 coming up for us in a couple of weeks - and it has gone by in a flash).
