This is us on our honeymoon. Don't we look cute?
This is us now. Still cute, no?
Copying my anniversary buddy Ma Torg (we share the same wedding date) I wrote out the highlights of our life together thus far:
Year 1: Gabe works at Imagine Systems and Emily starts a short-lived teaching career.
Year 2: Jonathan is conceived, carried, and born. Gabe starts a master's degree, Emily stops teaching, and we buy a house.
Year 3: Gabe keeps working on the degree while working part time at Imagine. Emily tries to juggle the house, the garden, and a rather demanding small child. Somewhere in there she achieves the rank of Black Belt in Tang Soo Do.
Year 4: Gabe graduates with a Master's Degree in Computer Science, and just in time, as baby number two is born two months later.
Year 5: Emily succumbs to her entrepreneurial heritage and starts Lullaby Slings.
Year 6: Our third baby is born...at home! Gabe starts working at Data Tree.
Year 7: Gabe becomes a Benedictine oblate. Emily assists at two births, then starts a doula certification program. Josiah turns 1, Thomas turns 3, and Jonathan turns five.

Congratulations! We think Gabe was the right decision as well!
Congratulations, you two!
Congratulations on your 7 years as a family! Sounds like they've been rich, full, and happy.
Congrats, Emily and Gabe! You have a marvelous anniversary date. (:
Congratulations! I like your write-up, that's a fun way to look at it. I started to think what mine would look like but it just got too scary. Matt and I have done a lot in 9 years!
And yes, still cute! *grin*
I'm convinced that good people get married on the 26th. Madeleine L'Engle married Hugh on January 26th....you and Gabe on May 26th...and Sean and I are getting married June 26th!!! =)
I think that the longer people are married, the cuter they get. You guys are no exception!
Many Blessings!
