Lucky #7!!!

Good things come to those who wait,
GREAT things came when I found Nate!!

I am so thankful I didn't have to wait too long to meet this awesome guy!! WOW! Seven Years! Can you believe it?
When I think back to that cold January day in Logan when for some reason I had a crazy urge to go running in the field house at 6:00am how grateful I am that I got myself out of bed and went! It was the best surprise in the world to meet the man of my dreams running there as well!!

Our dating months were fun, we look back with fond memories, good times, and a lot of love!

I'll never forget the most beautiful day in November, when I thought for sure we would have snow and ice, but luckily it held off and we had a gorgeous wedding day!

Now seven years later (seven wonderful years I might add) we have sure had an adventure together, and it truly has been a great adventure! Seven years ago I would have never imagined me moving to so many states, seeing so many places, and doing so many things--but I would do it all again in a heart beat if it means being with Nate! I love this man! How could I have deserved such a wonderful guy? I'll never know! But with each year he keeps getting better and better!! He is perfect in every way! He is the best dad in the world, a great handy-man, I think he can fix about anything now (except for cars)! He makes me laugh, and he is my best friend-forever!
Love ya Nate!

Happy Anniversary,

I am sorry you have a cold on your special day. I thought you were taking a nap, but you are working on a delightful, stroll down memory lane, blog.

I so enjoyed seeing your wedding pictures and remembering the day. It was cold, but blue skies, made all the photo's perfect.

I smiled when I saw your round tummy in one picture, and then a baby boy in the next. You did the same for Mara. You never got huge and you always look beautiful. I am so excited to see you in December.

It was fun to think back over your last 7 years. They have been so marvelous. You have seen much of the U.S.A., made many friends and entertained your family so they could vacation and see other states.

I am glad you met Nate at the track. Yours is a Storybook Romance with a "Happily Ever After" ending. It is nice that he saw you, no make up, hair in a pony tail, wearing sweats, saw your natural beauty and asked you out.

Wish I was there so you and Nate could have a get-away date. I know there aren't lots of options in Tillamook, but it would be nice, to have an evening alone together.

Thanks for sharing. Loved seeing the children's cute pictures. They brought back lots of memories.

Nate is a catch, but you are every bit his equal and I know his love for you is complete.

You are a very blessed couple, and I am thankful daily for God's loving kindness to your family.

Love, Mimi
