7 wonderful years!

(one of my favorites... July 12, 2003)


Scott and I have been married for 7 years! As of July 12- yesterday! And boy did we celebrate it in style! Or as good as I could have wanted it!

We decided to go out Friday night- Scott's mom and sister Cindy came over to watch the kids. Wonderful of them! Definitely not easy! But getting easier. And we weren't going far. We decided dinner and a comedy club. And boy was it fun!

We ate at one of my favorite restaurants - Chili's. And then went to Zanies at Pheasant Run in St. Charles. We laughed and laughed! (the 2 drink minimum helped the evening along too!) But my cheeks totally hurt! I was massaging them during the show. And afterwords Scott said he had to massage his too- from laughing so much. And then as we were leaving we met Louie Anderson. A brush with celebrity! Later I called him Louie Armstrong. Which just makes the evening even more hilarious! And we came home to a great report of the kids!

We then spent Saturday and Sunday enjoying our weekend together home as a family. We got lots done and the weekend felt nice and long.

Monday was our actual anniversary and we celebrated with Jenna's t-ball and then playing at the park with our great friends, Eric, Gina, Gabby, Mason and baby-girl Knudtson. Then we brought some Portillo's home and then watched our wedding video. It was the greatest! We hadn't watched it in about 7 years! ;) It was so fun seeing how people have changed a bit. And nice to see our grandparent's who have passed. :) But it was just so fun to relive the wonderful night we had! I actually was slightly embarrassed at how obviously happy and overjoyed I was throughout it. I guess it was my wedding day and all!

Jenna and Zach lost interest even before the reception part of it- and I even fast forwarded most of the church part! I went in to tell her that there was dancing- and she replied "It is just so long!!!!" Too funny!

Afterward Scott and I both agreed that it was really fun to watch it. And he said how he liked how happy I was through it. Like I said- it was pretty obvious I was having the time of my life!!

So I would say it was a pretty fantastic 7 year anniversary!! 3 kids later- I'd say we are doing good!


Jenna (with Zach's help) set up our table for our anniversary- she said we could just have a dinner there instead of going out (Friday morning before our date night)


She put a flower and a shell and a rock at our places


And they had entertainment for us too (Scott was at work unfortunately- it was so sweet!) She was singing a made up song that included the words "love, family, romance, married..." it was the sweetest thing- right out of the parent trap! :)
