No one was itchy during the 7th year.

Today is a special day! It marks the 8th year my husband and I have been together and we are now officially past the 7th year! phew! thank god there wasn't much itchiness there! (sorry for the corniness! I am beaming with truck-loads of love today!)

The hubbs sent me to work this morning (not just cuz' today is a special day, he tries to do it whenever he can) and we received some really good news on the way to my office.

The law firm handling the sales of our DBSS flat which is due for completion in 2013 called to tell us they will be sending through the official papers for our transaction today and that all loans and grants have been approved by HDB.

We are simply overjoyed! After almost 4 years of house hunting, we have finally secured our own flat with no hiccups whatsoever this time. Done-deal. Closed chapter. Weeee!!!!!!

Now all's left is to sit and shake leg and wait for 2013 to swing by. Sounds good if you ask me!

It will not be an extraordinary day for us today. Just a normal, usual week day. After work, I will meet the husband for a fish-head steamboat dinner which we have almost every other week. Today we celebrate the normalcy of our relationship and the daily routines that we try not to take for granted as each day passes. Because it is in such spirits, can we celebrate each day like it's special, 365 days a year.

The hubbs like to say, "My ultimate nightmare began on this day, 8 years ago."

And to that, I say, "You have done a great job so far, battling the nightmare. But this is only the tip of the ice-berg. Brace yourself for the journey of life. With me."

Happy Anniversary, my big baby. I *heart* you. :)
