7th Anniversary

7 years already? Have I really been dating this man for 10 years? Did I really meet him at the end of my teens and I'm now about to enter my 30's with him? Sometimes I can't believe the strange time-warp that happens after you leave school. We've had a lot of living in those 7 years!  I'm so glad that I get to live with my best friend and share adventures with him.


When I woke up this morning and started tending to the kids the last thing on my mind was that today was our anniversary. I hadn't truly forgotten, but it wasn't the first thing I thought of as I sleepily went along my routine. Then I opened up the laptop to check email while I fed Landon and Ethan ate his breakfast and I found a youtube video up on the screen with this song pulled up and set to play. It was a very sweet surprise!




Clint Black - Something That We Do


I remember well the day we wed
I can see that picture in my head
I still believe the words we said
Forever will ring true
Love is certain, love is kind
Love is yours and love is mine
But it isn't something that we find
It's something that we do
It's holding tight, lettin' go
It's flying high and laying low
Let your strongest feelings show
And your weakness, too
It's a little and a lot to ask
An endless and a welcome task
Love isn't something that we have
It's something that we do
We help to make each other all that we can be
Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently
The way we work together is what sets our love apart
So closely that you can't tell where I end and where you start
It gives me heart remembering how
We started with a simple vow
There's so much to look back on now
Still it feels brand-new
We're on a road that has no end
And each day we begin again
Love's not just something that we're in
It's something that we do
We help to make each other all that we can be
Though we can find our strength and inspiration independently
The way we work together is what sets our love apart
So closely that you can't tell where I end and where you start
Love is wide, love is long
Love is deep and love is strong
Love is why I love this song
And I hope you love it too
I remember well the day we wed
I can see that picture in my head
Love isn't just those words we said
It's something that we do
There's no request too big or small
We give ourselves, we give our all
Love isn't someplace that we fall
It's something that we do
