Happy Anniversary

5 years ago today the love of my life moved to Ohio. That first night we ate chicken bundles, watched Newleyweds and looked at TONS of pictures. I cannot believe that it has only been 5 years! I love you Alex. Below is the email I sent him today!

Well…I guess technically it is Happy Anniversary. Have I ever told you that I would rather celebrate this day as our anniversary than our wedding day! There are a few reasons…
I remember how nervous I was driving home knowing you were coming to my house. I was sweating and smoking like a mad woman…so nervous that I actually took 2 Xanax! I will NEVR forget the feeling I had when I opened the door and you were there. I honestly left like that moment was the beginning of my life. In that moment I committed myself to you. I knew that I loved you right then and there because I had never felt something so amazing before.

The other day you asked me if I loved you today like I did then and the honest answer is “no”. Then it was unknown and new. Today it is real, honest, true and unconditional love. Every day I am thankful for each moment I have to share with you. Our life is everything to me and I could never imagine going a day without you. There are fight and arguments, but I know that you were God’s plan for me. Today I love enough to be with you forever, the kind of love that gets us through rough times together. I love you enough that I want to take care of you if you ever become sick and I want the same from you. I want you to hold me when I am sad, scared or alone. I want to make my dreams come true with you. I want to grow our family and always have them be the heart of who we are. I want to teach our children to love always, not just when it is good.

Alex, I love you today more than I ever thought I could love someone, yet it is the love that I always dreamed of having. I feel that you have been a part of me forever and it has only been 5 years. Happy Anniversary my love…today, tomorrow and forever I love you!
