Thank God We’re Not Those People
Dear Nathan,
Asking you if it has felt like 7 years would be like asking President Bush if he wishes he’d never invaded Iraq. I already know the answer.
My love and appreciation for you and our relationship has grown over time. One my favorite qualities is that we see eye-to-eye on how to celebrate the mushy stuff.
For example, we aren’t the type of couple that recognize occasions like our first date, our first kiss, etc… which requires buying cards, flowers and expensive jewelry. Instead we like to recall the events that were more meaningful in shaping our marriage.
Remember that time I stole a table from the house you rented at Purdue and you ended up going to court? That was good times! Or how about the time you kept telling me that the statements we were getting in the mail were fake and that you didn’t really invest the money we were saving to buy a house in online stocks? Good thing I don’t still hold that over your head.
And then there was that time I put the naked guy pictures on the back of your truck with magnets and a sign that said, “Honk 4 Love!” You couldn’t figure out why those people were honking at you all the way to work. It wasn’t until noon when a co-worker pointed it out. We still celebrate those 3 days it took you to talk to me after that.
I could go on and on because we’ve created a lot of memories in the past 7 years. Thankfully we’re the type of couple who chooses to remember everyday and not just the days that society tells us are important.
Apparently the 7th anniversary gift is wool & cooper. Thank God we aren’t those type of people either. That is why I love us.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! All my love, Emily
