Chris,
How fortunate am I to get to go through life next to someone who is my best friend? This time last year I was getting ready to finally walk down that aisle and become your wife. We had waited 18 months. 18 long months. You were worth the wait though and here we are now 365 days later. 365 love filled days. 365 date nights, goodnight kisses, and 365 days of living out our vows to one another. It has been the best of years and we've made treasured memories, but the journey isn't perfect and marriage is work. It's an everyday choice, and it's not pretty some days. But between the arguments and the frustration we sometimes give each other is this overwhelming love and sense of home. I may act annoyed when you want to hug me all the time, but to let you in on a secret, your hugs are my favorite thing in the world and I can honestly say this is the happiest I've ever been in my life. This year had it's challenging moments with you trying to get your footing in your career to me starting my own business, There have been tears, financial worries, a few health concerns, and moments when we've gone too far, but marriage is a promise of commitment between two imperfect people who plan on going through an imperfect life together. There will be way more fights, more storming out of the room, more morning snuggles with the pups, more breakfast dates, and a million more kisses and head scratches. Because when you marry someone you agree to see the other at their best and worst and love them through both.
So thank you for being you. Thank you for making me laugh every day and for being my better half. For taking out the dogs even when it's my day and making yummy dinners when I'm busy. You're the best spider killer, reacher of things that are too high, and the greatest of advice givers. You make this life so fun and I'm so lucky to be able to call you mine forever.
Like I said on our wedding day, I promise to always be in love with you like I am today. and like I always say, I love you more than yesterday, but less than tomorrow. You are my everything and I can't wait to see what adventures are ahead for the both of us. I love you. 9-20-14
