As of yesterday, Chuck and I have been married for six years. Year six was a hard year. Just because I like numbers, let's rate some of our married years on a scale of 1 (how easy it is to talk me into eating Hot Tamales--ridiculously easy) to 10 (how hard it would be to get me to ride a horse--ridiculously hard).
2005 (our first year) -- a 9. It was hard. Not so much Chuck, but everything else was really a transition for me.
2007 (3rd year) -- a 2. Man, what a great year. We did our speed development training, which was hard, but so fun. We went to Puerto Rico. Chuck walked past me in the hallway and WHAMMO--I was pregnant with Rhett. And the year ended before I got too uncomfortably pregnant.
2010 (6th year) -- an 8. It's been hard. And not hard between us, but hard on us. But it's over! I have reason to believe next year will be better. Let's just hope the seven-year itch doesn't come early.

Happy anniversary you guys!!! Since I neither know your love/hate for horses nor hot tamales, at first I was little confused. But here's to hoping 2011 is a 1!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I had to look up what the 7 year itch meant...maybe I shouldn't admit that in a public space :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you've had a tough year...they do seem cyclic (at least in my mind). So hopefully you're on to the easy year end of your cycle!
I hope 2011 brings peace, happiness and joy to your home and family.
Oh congrats!!!!! We are ALMOST to 10----how did that happen?? And agreed, I think they are cyclical as well, so here's to HOPING.....;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Weird how some years are hard and others are easy. Glad Christmas was good! Traci got a pillow pet too (ladybug) =)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! up and down, right? I guess that's the way it is for most!!
ReplyDeletei've heard that if you can make it to five, you're golden. so yea! i remember your wedding very well, right here on the hill in my little town. it was beautiful, really it was but that wind, another story for sure! congrats.
ReplyDelete2010 was a hard one on us too. Not as hard as 2009, but probably still an 8. Our other 9 years of marriage: somewhere between a 1 and a 3. I hope 2011 is better for you. . . and, selfishly, me too.
