My 7th anniversary

I first met my cancerian partner back in 1988. She was a manager at my new job. We were both in our 20's and serius hellions. I was married at the time, to a scorpio with issues, and was trying to leave the marriage. Needless to say when my future-partner turned on the charm, I was smitten.
But her family was putting pressure on her to conform, and my now-ex husband decided to beg me to stay with him, and my future-partner & I went our separate ways for a long time. She got married & moved across the state, I got divorced & remarried (to a horrible man) and around 1999 she called me up out of the blue to apologize for how she left all those years ago.

Fast forward to 2002, when I was getting ready to get rid of husband #2. Sent a random 'are you still there' email to my future-partner and we started emailing about man-troubles. She had gotten divorced and lived not far from where I owned property, so we talked about meeting again. It turned out that she was coming back to my town to visit other friends, so we arranged to have coffee. It was a nice short visit, and kind of exciting. Fast forward a couple months to my 2nd husband causing serious problems (he was literally a sociopath). My future-partner had dealt with similar issues (though not quite as bad) and had help to offer. She basically swooped in to assist like the proverbial knight on a charger, and help me on the path to rebuilding my life after this horrible mistake.

Fast foward a couple more months & some very fun visits 😉 Neither one of us wanted to get into another relationship, but we were having a lot of fun reconnecting. Turns out she had fallen in love with me all over again and turned on full courtship mode. I don't think any person dead or alive, male or female, could out do her courting skills 🙂 and so we ended up together. Not without a couple of bumps though. She's virgo moon & rising and had a hard time moving back to the big city to be with me. She left after 2 weeks, and I thought that was it. I did soem serious thinking and decided since so much of my past life was in transition, I'd take a risk and try moving her way. I almost left a few times, missing my home so badly. But we decided together to pick a new hometown and bought our little farm in 2005.

BTW...I'm the cancer formerly known as Sekhmet 😉

I wish you joy and happiness together. 🙂

aww that's so sweet! hope your anniversary is a good and fulfilling one with more to come

How sweet. There's no feeling quite like love, is there? Although you didn't directly say it (a classic cancer move), I can feel it from reading your posts.

Whoops! You're right...

I guess I think of love as part of the foundation, like the earth under my feet. Of course it's there 🙂

We're getting ready to head to a huge auction/swap meet/trade show/learning experience all about horse-drawn equipment and draft horses. On the way we're stopping to 'interview' a pony we might buy to have a driving team with the pony we already have. And hopefully come home with a cute carriage and all the harness we need for the ponies to pull it 🙂 🙂 🙂

Maybe not the most romantic sounding getaway, but it's something we really want to do with our farm 😉

Happy anniversary!

Happy Anniversary!
