September 8th marked our 3rd anniversary! I cannot believe it has been that long. We've been together for 7 years! We celebrated in the usual fashion of takeout Chinese food (moo goo gai pan for me and sesame chicken for Jay) and cake. Although we didn't get to eat our wedding cake, a neighbor's mother's pound cake was pretty delicious. Overall the night was uneventful as we dined and watched TV, but it's comforting knowing how happy we both are and where our lives have taken us. We may not be as rich or as successful in our careers as we would have wished by now but we are so very happy and thankful.
Happy for our home, for each other, for our animal babies, for parents who love and care about us, for God and our church, for everything we have been blessed with. I'm so thankful to have a husband who loves me so much and is never afraid to show his affection. Jay, you always take care of me and our home and I'm so fortunate to have you in my life. Happy anniversary!
