Hawaii

This is where I should be RIGHT NOW!

I'm serious.

I've had this trip, on this day, planned since like...forever.

When I was a very young newlywed and sooooooo in love and thought that we were perfect and Brad could do no wrong, I heard about the "7 year itch." The thought terrified me that one day, Brad and I could possibly get to a point where we wouldn't like each other, or possibly not want to be together or even fight....gasp!

So, Hawaii was my cure to that. We'd been planning and saving for Hawaii ever since then. It was to be the first vacation, since our honeymoon, that we would go on all by ourselves. It was going to be romantic and epic, kinda like an episode of the bachelor. Then we'd come home, all our love renewed, ready for another 7 years.

I never imagined that my 7th anniversary, the one I'd been dreaming about, would be spent without him, chilling at home by myself with no one to hug or kiss or say "Happy Anniversary" to, or even talk to.

Life never quite turns out like you think.

Happy 7th Anniversary Baby.
