It’s our 7th anniversary! We both took today off to spend time together but to also visit day care centers. The show must go on. We will be touring day care centers that are close to my job. Women who are thinking about getting pregnant put their children on waiting lists, so why shouldn’t we. Plus the thoroughness of our agency requires that we provide information on a care plan for the baby. So we must continue to plan.
As I reflect on the meaning of this anniversary, the number 7 in the bible represents completion. We have completed a phase in our life that was very tumultuous and full of uncertainty. Not that we won’t face such things again, but we know that we can get through them. We can predict each other’s actions and words (it’s so creepy). Ted does an uncanny yet overexaggerated impression of me getting ready for work in the morning. So we have completed the phase of “getting to know you” at least the “getting to know the initial you”. Of course we are growing but now we are growing together. And just for fun, Chris Rock is right. Marriage is boring. Lol! No, it’s just regular. But that’s what makes it so good.
What else is in store today? Other than food, I’m not sure, but I know I will enjoy my time with my husband. Things have been a little tense considering our recent disappointment. But we will get through this as we do all things. Ted joked that I have been looking at him, as if I’m saying, “What in the world did I get myself into 7 years ago”. As usual, a man trying to read a woman’s mind is unsuccessful. My look is really saying “Even though you are dancing on my last nerve, I’m in it for the long haul. In good times and bad, my life would not be the same without you. I love our times together, the regular times and the once in a life – times”.
To my homeyloverfriend, my boo, my lifemate. I love you. Here’s to looking forward to year 8, a year of new beginnings.
