Seven Years Living Together

February 13, 2009

I love anniversaries. I have a good memory for dates, and I love to celebrate occasions that mark the life I'm living on this planet, especially when it involves Daniel and those milestones of our relationship.

Seven years ago, Daniel and I boarded a plane out of Tyler, Texas, with a connection in Dallas, and we flew to Michigan. I was moving in with him. The idea was to try it for six months, see how compatible we were, living our daily lives together, since we had only interacted online and in person during a handful of visits.

Living with him, getting to know him and do simple things with him, was bliss, and I knew very soon after I took that initial leap that I wanted to stay.

Forever.

Seven years later, it just gets better and better.

I am so full of joy and gratitude that I get to share my life with you, Daniel. You are my bliss. Today and always.

For the Layout-a-Day challenge, we were prompted to do a page about luck. I did this:

The lyrics are from a song by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat called "Lucky." Really love the style of the tune, and the lyrics make me a little weepy. Give it a listen.
