Seven years

Seven years ago today I was doing this…

06/17/00

It was a hot, humid June day–hotter than usual, even for the Southeast. We were married outside in the garden of a local historical home. Everyone was sweating, except maybe the bridesmaids because they had light, sleeveless dresses. Thankfully, we chose to have the reception indoors with air conditioning so we just had to make it through the ceremony in the sun. My great-grandmother married us, and when the music didn’t start on time she yelled into the microphone, “CAN WE HAVE THE MUSIC PLEASE???”

Seven years and he still makes me laugh harder than anyone else can. He calls me almost every day when he goes on his lunch break just to talk to me for a few minutes. We do our Secret Handshake whenever something good happens. He was the one who kept telling me not to give up whenever rejections for my book came in. Seven years and I love him more every day.

Happy anniversary, Monkey Butt.
