4 Years.

{One of our first pictures together}

I’m sitting here and trying to think of all the ways to convey my love for you on our 4th wedding anniversary. But I can’t. No words will really be able to express what I feel. So I’m going to try to do this as simply as I can which basically means that it won’t be.

This year has been pretty life changing, wouldn’t you say? I mean, with you getting the job and moving us to another state. Lots of things changed for us. As corny as it is to say this, my love for you did not. In fact, I think it grew stronger. No, I know it did.

You are the hardest working person I know. You don’t believe in the word can’t. You just keep on doing. Keep on trying, until you succeed. I love that so much about you.

And then sometimes of course I complain because my dreams are simple and I don’t understand why your dreams can’t be simple too.

But then when I’m pushed to do something by you that I never thought I would do. Or do something that I thought I would hate. I’m reminded that I need to just continue to push you to dream. And not just dream. To dream big.

I look forward to you coming home and being able to see you. I look forward to your work breaks to be able to talk to you. I just enjoy being in your presence that, that month apart a few months ago was hard. I wanted to be with you. Near you. I love that after all these years together I still feel this way. But with you it is easy. You’re just easy. Me? Not so much, but I’m working on it.

Just know that every single day I feel blessed to be your wife. Every single day I feel blessed that I get to walk this world with you by my side. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love you with every fiber of my being; with everything that I am and hope to be.

So today, you won’t be given any special gift. But know that I respect you; I love you and am looking forward to spending our entire lives together.

When God made you, He seriously thought of me.
