You know, when we were kids, people didn't think the Earth would make it past 1999. But I'm so glad it did because not only did the millennium continue to support life it also brought with it iPods, eBooks, FaceBooks, and super diseases created by the government, but it also brought a beautiful collision.
Two foreign worlds becoming one, kind of like that painting on the wall behind you...your right shoulder dear. My life and your life, divinely brought together and through a weird and painful group of events we fell in love. But before we were in love we were in like and before we were in like we were friends talking.
I am so blessed to feel that way again! I know I have not only a wife and a helper in you but I also have a friend.
I have also watched you grow as a woman and as a sister in Christ and I can see you still growing. You are beautiful. Every inch of you. Your soul is like a piece of art being perfected by a master painter. Your heart is becoming shaped and contoured by the potter's hands and I have the divine privilege to watch this unfold.
You are the one I wake up with and the one I lay down beside. You are the iron that sharpens me and you are my gravity. Without you I would be lost at sea. You are my island.
I am here and you are here because we have been placed here. Although work and church and relationships and bills and life is frustrating, I love you. And that gets me through.
You are my Eve, my perfect partner.
You are my breath.
You are my hand to hold.
You are my sea to swim.
You are my mountain to climb.
We have a big year ahead of us. We have a whole Bruce Trail to work on. We have a whole new neighbourhood to love. We have a whole lotta past to work through. And we have a whole lot more to learn and love about each other. I want to give you this year by giving it to God. He is our rock and our provider. He has made us and he will keep us one.
I love you. I love you. I love you.
Remember three nights ago when I was up on the computer at 3:30am...That was for this. And it's worth it. You are worth the inconvenience. You're worth the extra work a marriage requires. You are my Jelly Bean and my Woogie.
Now I think it was a year and 5 months ago we were married and I think I made some pretty serious vows that day. I would like to sum up those vows by letting you know 3 things
1-I love you
2-I will do my best to never give up
3-I love yoooooooouuuuuuuu
I come to my garden, my sister, my bride.
Ah, You are beautiful, my love;
ah, you are beautiful;
Your eyes are doves.
Ah, you are beautiful, My beloved,
Truly lovely.
Merry Christmas my beautiful friend, my enchanting beloved, my perfect partner.
I've added a few pictures of you that I absolutely love. They are you at your best! And they are cute as heck!
