I won't lie and say the last 7 years have always been peachy, but we were committed to each other. I will say that happy times have far outweighed the rough times. So yesterday we celebrated 7 years of marriage by eating lunch at KFC and going grocery shopping while Grandma watched Benjy. So not the most thrilling of things, but when you have a 2.5 month old, time is limited.
It was very strange being out without Benjy. He is with me pretty constantly as he is a breast fed baby. Thankfully he does take a bottle when he needs to so I left 3 bottles of pumped milk and 2 containers of formula for just in case. He ended up drinking all three bottles of formula as we were an hour away to do our shopping and we had lots to do.
Anyway, a little off track here. Looking back on 7 years of marriage, we have done lots of things together.
