Happy Anniversary!

Dear John,

Happy Anniversary! Can you believe that 4 years ago today, we were getting married?!!? I know I can’t. In such a short amount of time our little family has doubled in size. You have given me the daughter I always craved, two of them, actually. I see you in both of them everyday and I just can’t believe that we were able to make such little miracles.

They say that the first year of marriage is the hardest. I don’t agree. Sure, we had our disagreements, but I loved every minute. We have been through many ups and downs in our 4 years of matrimony, but I wouldn’t trade it. Not even for a pair of Jimmy Choos and a Louis Vuiton. I would say, that where we are right now, is the hardest on me. The sleepless nights, the terrible twos,the messy house, the potty training, and just the general lack of time that we have to spend together is the hardest on me. I have enjoyed our tv time and movie nights spend on the couch. Believe it or not, I DO think you are quite funny( even if I find your jokes a tad inappropriate at times). You’re carefree nature balances my type-A personality quite nicely, I think.

You are so good to me. You really are. You go out of your way to make sure I have everything I have ever needed or even thought about needing or things that I didn’t even know I needed. You know when to hug me and when to wait me out. I love you for everything that you are, and I know I don’t say it as much as you should hear it, but I love you with all of my heart. I wouldn’t change anything about our lives. I am truly blessed to have married such a wonderful man.

I Love You,
Rachel
