It's true, We've been married six years and it has been a whirlwind... Some of you might have seen the "stats" update on facebook, that was a moment of reflection I was taking as I thought of the things we've been through together in six years of marriage. I'm sure there are multitudes of other and more colorful things that I don't even remember.
So I just wanted to tell my eternal companion that I love the time we've HAD together, Love the things we DO together, I look forward to the time we WILL have together in the future...
My mom was teasing me about getting worked up over a certain tv show and she commented that she was ready to defend my outrage when she discovered it was all over "reality tv." Just now I realized that watching the "bachelor" sometimes brings you back to those feelings of bliss and thoughts of the perfect beginning you had in the early times of your relationships. If fun to think of how you started out together, see how far you've come, and recognize the growth that is still needed. The truth is marriage takes work, in the beginning it doesn't seem like you will ever fight about anything, you'll just discuss your differences and come to a reasonable conclusion, right? Well later on we learn that effort is required to get to a place of agreement and sometimes the agreement never happens.
None the less it is finding happiness in the little things, the notes of appreciation, getting cheered on when you are excelling at something, being picked up after a hard day, eating together, finding hobbies to enjoy together (even if sometimes those hobbies involve little ping-pong rivalries). I guess I just want to say, I enjoy knowing how you like your toast, how you like your shirts folded, what kind of floss you prefer, and all the hundreds of little things that make you unique and interesting to me... Justin I love you. I'm happy to be married to you even on our worst day. Happy Anniversary my darling sweet heart!! I sure love ya!!
