Yesterday was me and Guy's 7th wedding anniversary :) It was a great day...but it was a lonely day. He wrote me a really long love letter and emailed it to me...you just don't get more romantic than that! Really though...I'll take a love letter over an actual gift ANY DAY. He did send me a package last week...so even though it was for my birthday and just really late, it can count for anniversary as well.
I added it up, and out of the 7 years we have been married, we have only lived together 4.25 of them. It's been really super hard...but it has made us a lot closer. We've had to work a lot harder and compromise a lot more...I think we're the equivelent of a couple that's been married 50 years in terms of trials :)
When we got married, Bishop (president) (Joe) Cottle gave us the best advice. He said "Make your home a place where the influences of the outside world are not invited". The Army is a rough lifestyle, but we've done our best to make our house a home for not only us, but Donnie's soldiers...and it's been a home where the influences of the outside world are not invited. I guess that's why so many single soldiers and missionary's flock to our doorstep. Our house feels like home.
So anyway...here's some pictures of the happy day 7 years ago....I love you Donnie Hurd!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! It seems wierd to me that it was seven years ago. It doesnt seem that long! Sorry Guy wasnt around. Make sure he makes it up to you when he comes home!! I know I cant remember any counsel I was given when I got married. How sad is that!!!:(
