Love

Wow. I can’t believe it’s our anniversary again already!! Two years of marriage, and 5 years together total. It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long. And yet 5 years is a long time. It’s certainly the longest relationship I’ve ever had. Five years is a big number, and yet it’s all been so easy, most of the time. Being with him for 5 years doesn’t feel like a chore. It’s fun and exciting and I literally love him more each day.

And two years of marriage? That’s crazy talk. And even though it hasn’t been the smoothest start, what with family issues, I think we’ve pulled through beautifully. Marriage definitely takes work, but when two people share a love like we do, it doesn’t seem like work.

I feel like the luckiest woman in the world to wake up next to this man. He is everything I ever wanted, and more. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure it’s real, or reach out in the middle of the night and take his hand, just to make sure it isn’t a dream. I always imagined myself happily married – I just didn’t know I could be THIS happy! The way he makes me feel is incredible. How can I still have butterflies when he kisses me? Sure, the initialy spark is gone. We don’t have that "new" feeling anymore, but it’s been replaced by something else. I never really understood what passion was until Stan. It’s amazing. HE’S amazing, and we’re amazing together.

I love you, baby, with all my heart. I’m so excited to spend the rest of my life with you.

Happy Anniversary!
