The past three years have been filled with adventure, joy, conflict, and fun. We've managed to accomplish so much in this short time span... a move back home from across the country, great jobs, a new home. And we've done it all together.
When I see pictures of us from that September day three years ago, I see two people filled with optimism and excitement for the future. What will the next day bring? Will we achieve everything we desire? Can we make this work? The answer is yes, as long as we do it together.
I've racked my brain trying to figure out what sort of gift might adequately show him how much I love him, and how much I value all that we have weathered together. Nothing seems good enough. Nothing can convey the degree of my devotion to this man and this marriage. Fortunately, I found the perfect gift. One that happened to show up at just the perfect time.
Looks like our fourth year together may just be the best one yet.
