7 Year Anniversary!

This past Monday marked Paul's and my 7 year wedding anniversary!  Because we were in Indiana this past weekend for his brother's wedding, and because Paul had a 3 day work conference (including dinner meeting) this week, we postponed our anniversary celebration for this coming weekend.  However I had fun going through pictures and thinking of all that we have been through in our 7 years of marriage....
...starting our brand new careers...
...bedbugs in our first 600 square foot apartment together (and the 2 months following of living out of bags!)...
...weekend classes to get my Masters in Education...
...5 years of intense studying to get Paul his CFA...
...buying our first home together...
...getting our energetic dog Tucker...
...giving birth to two (almost 3!) amazing kiddos (and all the ups and downs, joys and challenges that come with that!)
...and SERIOUSLY loving each other more each day!

I can honestly say that I love, respect, cherish, and appreciate Paul so incredibly much more than on our big day 7 years ago when I said, "I do".  He is so good to me, so constant, so loyal, so loving, and so godly.  I can only think of 1 night out of the 7 years of marriage (2555 days!) that we accidentally fell asleep before praying together - whether it was via cell phone, skype, or in person, and I so cherish Paul's constant praying for us and our family each night before we sleep. I am SO thankful for him!  I am super excited to continue to grow together and tackle whatever life has in store for us...TOGETHER!  I love you Paul Stuart Tommerdahl!
