Monday

Tomorrow will be our 7th year dating anniversary (which is also our year and a half wedding anniversary)! 7 years ago we went on our first date. I'll never forget it either.........after standing me up one time, I decided to give him a second chance. He lured me to his house by saying "my parents will be asleep, we can watch a movie with surround sound." We watched "Signs" and later Jeremy admitted that he was hoping I would get scared and cuddle up to him. Little did he know that movies don't scare me (although they used to, ET?? Now that's scary)! I remember he was wearing a TON of cologne and his leather jacket. We met up at Governor's and took his 1995 white Pontiac Grand Prix to his mom and Norman's house.
I remember that we stayed up for hours just talking. I felt totally fulfilled by simple conversation. Ever felt that?
So, we ended up dating for the rest of my winter break and right before I left to go back to college at UMass, Jeremy asked me to be his official girlfriend. I said yes, of course. I remember being nervous about having a long distance boyfriend, because I didn't' know if our feelings would stay strong while we were 4 hours away from each other. After countless hours of phone conversation (which Jeremy usually hates), we finally got to see each other again when I drove home in the wee hours the night. I met him at Governor's and he gave me a big hug and even though he was greasy from cooking all night, I hugged him back.
The rest is history!
Dr. Oz says that a couple needs to reinvent their relationship every 7 years. Do you think that having a child counts as reinventing our relationship? If not, I need to know what the heck he meant by that because if Dr. Oz says it, I listen!
On a different note, I'm feeling better, work is fine, Libby and Nick in 4 days! Good luck Nick on your interview this Wednesday in New York.
