It's kind of amazing the places you can go, the things that you can do, and the amounts of joy you can experience when you get to spend seven years with someone, the way Christopher and I have done. And I didn't even start listing local restaurants... or specific people we've seen... or the everyday-ish things we've done... or the weddings and celebrations we've attended. Or the quiet times when we were just home and enjoying being home.

(And, as I try to complete this, I keep thinking of more things I should add in. But I figure the list is long enough as it is.)

Makes me pretty excited about what the next seven years might hold (and the seven after that... and the seven after that... and...).

Readers' poll question: If you - without checking a calendar - had to list a top ten for the past seven years, where would you start? Post a comment, here, please (not on FB) - I'd love to know what sticks in your mind from the same period of time.
