Sam Adams 25th

Did I mention that I love beer? Sam Adams is top notch and it's nice to see a local craft brewer take off to be this multi-million dollar enterprise yet still be rooted in what made the company successfull -- making good beer.

Jim Koch probably has the besst job in America. Brewing and tasting beer is a job that I could handle no problem. You can see from the video people that the guy is just as giddy now about his product as I'm sure he was when he realized that it actually tasted good back in 1985.

Ying and Yangs of Dating and Marriage

ying-yangI recently celebrated my seventh wedding anniversary. By no means is seven years a milestone, but in this day in age when divorce papers are as common as wedding nuptials, seven years is a pretty good benchmark. We've made it this far. Haven't killed each other yet. Finances are in order. Food is on the table. Kids are healthy. All is good in the Big Guy household.

As I mulled over the seven years and everything in between, I started to think about the things I forgot during the courting years and the stuff I had no idea was coming down the pike during the marathon that is marriage. It's what I call the Ying and Yang of the marriage process.

It poured on our wedding day. Good luck, as they say.Dear Mrs. Big Guy,

Today is our seventh wedding anniversary. Somedays it feels like we've been married for 50 years and some days it feels like we've been married for 50 days. The days blend together and we get into our grooves of going to work when it's still dark out or getting up early to do school drop off at 7:50am. Regardless, I'm thankful that we're more than just ships passing in the night. We've made it seven years without killing each other, having two beautiful kids, a warm and caring home, a loving interwoven family and a life that I wouldn't trade for all the money in world (well...kidding).

In my blogging tradition, here are my seven things I'm thankful for as we look forward to another year of blissful marriage:
