Four years ago today I married my beloved (and six years ago today we first met!).
I was nervous.
We both were.
You cried.
And we kissed.
And then I cried.
And cried some more.
It was beautiful.
I felt beautiful.
You were beautiful. You are beautiful.
We both were. And are still…even though I know we’d both kill for those waistlines now!
We danced.
And kissed more.
But didn’t dine…
Though we ate cake!
And did silly things.
And then packed our bags and left on a jet plane.
It was such a beautiful, memorable day. One that I will never forget. Nor will I ever forget the love and kindness that surrounded us by our friends and family. But that day doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. I didn’t need all the hoopla to know that you love me.
I’m grateful that I still see it every day when you…
do the dishes.
rock Boogie back to sleep.
rub my feet…and I know they’re not pretty…
clean out the cat box.
stay up late to not let the sun go down on our anger…
and then have enough joy in your heart to laugh when we realize all that time we actually agree…
say “uh huh” at all the right times during my periods of incessant chatter
…so like, all the time…
and let me, be me. Even though it’s always evolving.
I love you so much honey. From the depths of my being.
<3
Happy Anniversary.

I love you guys! You are both amazingly wonderful people and your happiness together fills any room you walk into together; it’s easy to see you were made for each other! Have a relaxing, blissful anniversary weekend!
What a beautiful story of your love, happy anniversary to you both!
Thank you all so much for your lovely comments and well wishes!
Beautiful dress! Is it vintage? I absolutely adore your hairstyle. It suits you and the dress so well.
Thank you so much Sascha! I’m afraid the dress is not vintage, though that’s precisely what I loved about it so much, that it looked like it could be. Even when I was that size, I still had trouble finding vintage pieces that fit my linebacker shoulders and large ribcage!

Thanks Ingrid! This August it will be five – FIVE!?! Crazy. We just went to the coast for a week-long family get-away this past year. I think it’s going to be a tradition to go to the coast, though, some year it’d be awesome to go by ourselves! Someday…
