seven down, seven to go

For the life of our marriage, Shaggy has had two good jokes:

• The first assumes a seven year timeline of marriage (related to the seven-year itch). So when someone asks how long we've been married, he says, for example, "Four years, three to go." 
• The second is about his third wife being born right about now.

We celebrated seven years of marriage of Sunday, and we decided that we should probably stick it out for at least another seven years, since that first joke really doesn't make sense when you start getting into negative time. The second joke, of course, is always funny.

So math and humor save another marriage.

Also, afternoon naps, really tasty food, being generally fun to be around, and lots of silly dancing in the living room.

Happy seven years, love!



Unrelated: Wendy, if you're reading this, do you remember that hilarious time at Sunday school when we thought there was a misspelling of Sven in the bible, but it just turned out to be the word "seven"? Whenever I stare at the word seven for too long, the giggles rise up inside of me.
