Seventh inning stretch...

Woo Hoo!!! Today is our 7 year anniversary!!! Can you believe that Steven has put up with me for that long? I can't either.
Seven years ago today, Steven came to my Mom's home to pick me up and take me to the temple. The look on his face when I opened the door was sheer panic! I pointed my finger at him and said, "Don't!". He looked at me puzzled, and I said, "You're looking like you're gonna back out". He laughed, I grabbed my veil and dress, and we were off!
I'm not gonna lie...it was cold that day. In all of our pictures my nose is red, but my smile is so big! I couldn't have been happier to be 'Mrs. Steven Douglas Peterson'. I know, cheesy huh. I still like to call myself that from time to time.
We had a perfect reception (thanks Mom). It was so beautiful, and it was everything I ever dreamed of....and more. I had a cinderella pumpkin coach that held all of my presents, and ice cicle lights everywhere...our backdrop was perfect, and so was the groom. My cake was just exactly how I imagined it. Steven wanted hunter orange and camoflauge to be our colors...LOL. My Mom suprised Steven with a groom's cake that had a fisherman, hunter, and pine trees. It was hunter orange. I'll never forget that he actually cried when he saw it. He couldn't believe that someone could be that thoughtful...well, that's my Mom for ya. To this day, Steven says that he and my Mom were a match made in heaven because she's a giver and he's a reciever. He loves the gifts that my Mom gives to him.
Thank You, Steven...for picking me and sticking with me through all of the hard times that we've endured together. Thank You for listening, for loving, for your patience, your faith, and most of all for the three beautiful children that we've brought to this family. I love you.
The years have been good to us, we have certainly been blessed. It has been a long road, but we still have a long ways to go, and I can't wait! I'm so excited to spend forever with my best friend. It's gonna be a good time.
