L.O.V.E.

January 31, 2009 a day that will always be a #1 in my heart. The day Matthew and I said I DO!

 

I Do Love you

I Do Cherish you

I Do Honor you

I DO Trust you

I Do Care for you

I Do want to spend my life with you...

 

Since then we have added so much more to our "I Do" list.

 

I Do want to share a family with you

I Do want to create a home with you

I Do support you

I Do want to listen

I Do want to talk

I Do want to scream

I Do want to compromise!

 

And I know we will continue to add more and more to our " I Do" list.

 

This year we wanted to celebrate our anniversary by staying at the Queen Mary. Doing dinner, and just enjoying each other's company. Well this beautiful plan fell short when our bank account did.

 

We decided we would just put that idea on hold for now.  With our new income and our new budget we have to watch the way we spend money now, something that has taking a little bit of adjusting, but we are managing.

 

On the day of our anniversary I filled our home with little love notes that Matt would find while on his way to the coffee pot.  That's it... as simple as that.

 

Matt loved his notes and apologized a million times that our plans didn't work out. I reminded him that it was my idea to cancel and that it was perfectly OKAY.

 

Throughout the day we sent several love text, with simple reminders of our love journey

 

That evening Matt returned home after work to a spotless home and dinner ready and waiting.

 

We exchanged cards...I cried.

 

Not because it was our anniversary, or that we were "simply" celebrating, but because our cards shared the same exact theme.

 

Basically,

 

We are happy and in love and would not want to be anywhere but right here, right now with each other.

 

I love Matthew, and I know he loves me.  We share a unique love for life, and for our marriage!

 

We are incredibly goofy on a daily basis, we have at the very least 100 inside jokes, that no one on this planet would understand.  We KISS, We Cuddle, We laugh at each other,  We hold hands, and most importantly we still FLIRT with one another... which usually leads to an outburst of laughter.

We enjoy each others company and when things get tough, we talk. we don't always get along, and we don't always agree with one another, but we ALWAYS respect one another.

 

I hope we NEVER lose this!
