A Couple of Runners: Happy Anniversary!

A Couple of Runners!

I'm certainly not one for too much cheese when it comes to romance (unless we are talking actual cheese, like cheddar...one of the true keys to my heart), but today is special so I will make an exception. Why is today different?! Well, today the husband and I are celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary! That's right SEVEN years! Wow, 2007 was a LONG time ago! Seven years married and a whopping TEN years together later, he still manages to make me laugh at even the dumbest of things and is still my best friend. (Awww). It hasn't always been easy and we are far from perfect, but we've made it through the rough patches and come across stronger on the other side! More than that though, we have built a life together and made so many wonderful memories! Right now at year seven, I can honestly say this is the strongest our relationship has ever been, and I hope with each passing year we can grow stronger as individuals and as a couple.

Magical memories! What a journey it's been so far!!!

Running is a huge part of my life, and if it wasn't for my love of this great sport I probably would have never met the love of my life (again with the cheese, seriously this is really making me want actual cheese. A block of swiss would be a great anniversary gift *hint*. What can I say, I'm a simple woman). We both attended the University of Charleston on track and cross country scholarships. We met because we were teammates. We quickly grew from teammates to best friends and then one day, I finally gave in, threw caution to the wind, and agreed to date him. We clicked so instantly that I remember not wanting to date him at first because I didn't want to throw a perfectly great friendship away if things didn't work out. I am glad I had a change of heart and that he won me over. After all, this shy boy was still willing to date me after he had already seen me throwing up after cross country races (sexy!), and that's a keeper!

We are just a "Couple of Runners!"

While we have many different interests and are in some ways opposite, running has always been a common bond between us. The husband is my favorite running partner. Now that we are "retired" from our collegiate competitive years, it's nice to train together for races and to just have a running pal in general. We complain about the sucky runs together and celebrate the good ones. We even finish each others...sandwiches! Next up for us is the Tower of Terror 10-Miler and he has even agreed (with a little pushing) to dress in a costume for the race! That's true love!

This is how mature, married of seven years, couples behave!

So, happy anniversary to the husband, or as they call him Daniel outside of the blog world! We are just a couple of runners! I can't wait for our next run together, but more importantly I can't wait to continue our journey together! I love you!
