Two things.
*
Today, I have been married for 7 years.
*
Also, David (and his new business) was featured in an article that ran in the Sunday paper last week. (click here for the link)
And although these don't seem related, and maybe it's unromantic to mention pest control and your wedding anniversary in the same post, it got me thinking.
*
Life is full of experiences that cause you to exclaim, "I can't believe I'm DOING this!"
For example, when I was "Betty Body" in the 4th grade play. I stood on the stage in my spandex outfit sewed by my mother and held the microphone waiting for the music to start so I could sing and dance to my solo. I clearly remember thinking, "I can't believe I'm DOING this!"
*
I thought the same thing as I drove away for college, headed to a school and a state where I literally knew NO ONE.
*
Partnership could be my favorite aspect of being married to David. Because included in our mortal experience, we each have moments that are intimidating, remarkable, painful, and miraculous. It's comforting to share those with your spouse.
*
In our marriage there have been many opportunities to grow our relationship. Starting this new business is certainly one of them. "I can't believe we're DOING THIS!"
*
Last Sunday I stood outside of QuickTrip and sifted through the sections to find his article. I beamed with pride, I squealed out loud as I read, and I glanced up to look at David when I finished. Our eyes locked and I could tell that he was mostly enjoying how enthusiastic I was.
*
I am his biggest fan, and he is mine.
*
I couldn't imagine it any other way.

what a wonderful journey for you and your little family!!! sounds like you've got lots more to look forward to. i admire small business owners just because i don't think i could handle it. i would be a ball of stress.

Sorry for comment overload - I read mostly on google reader and then forget to comment until I realize it. Anyway - this is quite possibly my favorite post on your blog. The pure genuine-ness of it. Congrats, congrats. You two are beautiful
We are so happy for you and so proud of you! Back in January a friend of mine gave a lesson in RS about dealing with trials. She and I talked about how you have deal with all of the manure(sp?) life hands you in order to see all of the pretty flowers and taste all of the sweet fruits. So true! We're so glad you are seeing the "fruits" of your labor! We hope the manure made them extra sweet for you and the harvest keeps coming!!
