Lucky Number Seven

The beautiful roses Nathan bought me to celebrate our seven years together.

Valentine's day was this past Sunday. Nathan and I decided to keep this day fairly low-key. After all, I am huge and moving around is just not as easy as it used to be. We started our Sunday going to Union and then headed home to spend some quality time together. Later that evening we went out to dinner at one of our local restaurant favorites - Aladdin's. We then bought some frozen yogurt from Giant, headed home and watched the Olympics.

My meal of rice, beans and vegetables.

Nathan's meal of Spinach and Feta Pita Wrap

What was special about our day, though, was that we have been together for seven years. We had our first kiss on Valentine's day exactly seven years ago. Most relationships hit a seven year itch, where you tend to re-evaluate your relationship, and the outcome is usually not so good.

We are lucky though. Our philosophy is seven years down, a lifetime to go.

Thank you for being my soulmate and my best friend. I love you beyond words.
