7 Amazing Years

Last week, Carrie and I celebrated our seventh anniversary. It's been an incredibly joy-filled adventure with very little about our lives today planned or scripted from seven years ago. But, between faith and each other we feel incredibly blessed to be where we are and where we are going. This photo has layers of meaning. First, it's my "thing" to self-take our photos - even if people are walking by and offer to take it for us. Every fun trip we've ever taken includes a photo like this. Second, this photo is in front of a fountain by the downtown apartment building where we first moved after getting married. We were so excited when the put the small park and fountain in the vacant space. We still love to walk by it. Finally, as you can see we're both in a lot better shape than we were four months ago. A lot of hard work and sacrifice has gone into that (and still does) but we both made the decision that we had to make it important enough to happen now. We feel wonderful and hope that Rece only ever knows fit and active parents. Here's to another 50 or 60 years!
