Lucky 7

7 years ago we "tied the knot."

1 apartment, 1 house, same job and 4 kids later, that knot is still tied tight.

Sometimes when the knot feels like it might come unraveled with the chaos of every day life, I hang on by leaning on a great man. We look to each other and then look outward and keep on going.

"Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction."

--Antoine de Saint-Exupery

(That is all natural curls... my hair will not go this curly anymore, thanks to three pregnancies).

Lucky girl, I am. Lucky (fantastic) 7 years. And we're still looking outward together in the same direction.
