Two Years Ago...

Two years ago on a cool, cloudy day just like this one...I married my very best friend.

  
The past two years have taught me more about myself than I have learned in the 26 years that preceded them. Marriage stretches you and makes you grow by allowing you to see things in yourself that maybe you didn't really want to admit were there. But, it's a funny thing because even though you may not realize it at the time (I mean...let's face it...no one really likes to admit that they can be a little selfish at times and they are an absolutely terrible housekeeper) when it is all said and done and all of your "ugly" traits are out there...you can look over at the person next to you and know that they really don't care. They love you just the way you are. Even when the laundry is piled up so high that the dogs are starting to make a bed out of it.

Marriage makes you recognize those really beautiful things that are inside of you to. Like your ability to love someone so completely that when they are sad or in pain...you can feel all that too and you would give absolutely anything to take it away from them.

Marriage is incredible (and at times incredibly frustrating) but the most important thing that I have realized is that communication is key. I am so fortunate to have married my very best friend. A man who is good and kind and loves me like crazy and who I can tell absolutely anything to.

And, I can honestly say that I have never been happier to spend every single day with someone who constantly makes me laugh until I (almost) pee my pants and tells daily how much he loves me.

I cannot imagine finding another person who is so perfectly suited for me, even with all the little ways that we are so completely different. Thank you honey for making me the luckiest girl in the world. You have made my heart so content and full of love. I am so excited to see what life has in store for us.
