Seven wonderful years

Seven years ago today Mark and I were married at Sandals in St. John's, Antigua, West Indies. We had planned a trip to Antigua in September 2001 for March 2002. We had no idea at the time we booked the trip that we would be engaged in January and marry while in Antigua. We took a chance planning on this trip as we had only been dating for 3 1/2 months, we may not even had been together when the departure date rolled around! However, all worked out well...I think we both knew deep down that our story would have a happy ending...

We were married in the most gorgeous place on earth. The temps were in the 80's, warm breezes and sunshine every single day. The flowers were so bright and the colors of the blossoms and bushes so vivid. The water was a blue I'd never seen before and as warm as a bath...And here we are today, close to a foot of snow on the ground, the furnace is running, the temperature is in the 20's, maybe. More light snow predicted for tomorrow. But we celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary on a grand scale tonight....
Mark brought me home (surprise) a bouquet of seven red roses, one for each year and a pretty pink rose signifying the future. And of course, chocolates and a sweet card. After a long day at work for the both of us we got ready to go out for an anniversary dinner.... Yup, its true and after dinner....a trip to Wal-Mart! Who knew that after seven years of marriage that celebrating our wedding anniversary would consist of Pizza Hut (hey it's one of our favorite places) and shopping! And it doesn't matter where or how we celebrate, as long as we are together. P.S. We did go to Jamaica two years ago and renewed our wedding vows while there so we do get out and about once in a while! A very patient man....
