7 Years & Counting

Posted on June 27, 2006 by jlove

So yesterday, Reon and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary. Yeah! We both intended to post something about it, but time got the best of us. So I decided to give my best impersonation of having logorrhea and blog about it. :)

7 years….wow. Seems like it has been longer than that…and sometimes seems like it has only been a few days. Wierd how that works, yeah? Well, we both agree that it has been great, even though it certainly hasn’t been what we thought it would be, as there have been several twists and turns in our life that we never expected. I guess that unexpected turns in life should be one of the few things that is expected. Wow, so profound and yet, so obvious to most.

I just want to say that Reon is a great wife and life partner. She has been very willing to allow me the freedom to pursue many of my dreams, even at a great lifestyle cost to her. I’m excited about this next chapter in our life, as we anticipate new things and changes to our current reality. I hope that we will be able to allow her to realize some of her hopes and dreams in the coming years.

So, I’m very thankful and thrilled to be married to my best friend. I’m grateful to God for giving us these past 7 years, and I look forward to whatever is in our future. My prayer is that with each year, we (by His grace) will love each other more self-lessly and demostrate a Wonderful, Loving God to the world through our marriage & family. Wow…I can’t believe I just said family… :)

Is there a “cry out loud” web abbreviation?! Thank you, sweetheart. While I never would have guessed seven years ago that we would be where we are today, I cannot imagine my life being better. Your hopes and dreams have been a joy for me to watch you and help you fulfill. Hindsight is 20/20 they say, and I can easily see now how our great God has directed our path.

I praise Him for giving me you, and I am excited about what the next chapter in our life brings. For better or worse, I’ll be there. I love you.

I think we should coin a new word:

Blogorrhea!

Hey Reon! Just for you I have the next best thing - a new set of smilies with an appropriate one in it for you - ;( .

But seriously, congratulations guys. Seven years is quite an accomplishment. I’m eager to see where God takes you in the next several years - especially with jlove using the “family” word.

Congrats guys! God is definitely glorified in your lives - both separately and even more so together. Marriage is such a cool thing. Don’t you think you’ve learned more about God through this covenant between two people than just about anything else? At least that’s the case for me. Can’t wait to see where He leads you. (You know, we had DD1 after 7 years…) ;)
