So I had to dig out the wedding album for a little reminiscing on our anniversary. We generally don’t go too crazy celebrating it, maybe going out to dinner if I manage to find a babysitter. But this year (once again) we aren’t celebrating together. I wish I had kept a better calendar because I think we might have spent almost as many anniversaries apart as together!

I look back on these pictures of us taken so long ago at that cute little chapel on Ft. Belvoir and think, you dumb kids, you have no clue what you’re getting yourself into. We knew we loved each other and wasn’t that all there was to it?

I wanted to marry you not long after I met you. You were quite that catch, good looking, funny as hell and you were just so solid. So there for me. We lived in each other’s pockets for two years before getting married, working together, hanging out almost every minute when we weren’t at work. We had so much fun. We still do thank goodness.

We grew up together. We met at 18 and 20 respectively and now we are in our mid-thirties. I love having you as the witness to my life. I love making these incredible memories that we are going to be able to look back on after a lifetime of adventures.

Happy Anniversary, I love you more than you know!
