Morning!

Today I’m waking up extra happy because it is my two year wedding anniversary.

What you are about to read is something I wrote 2 years ago a few weeks before my wedding. I wanted it to be part of my vows but with all the stress I had during the week of my wedding I never got around to give it to my husband.

But here it is.

I hope you enjoy it.

Hi babe 🙂

I’m not going to say that I “can’t” believe that we are here facing each other ready to be husband and wife because ever since I met you I knew you were the one. I remember the first time I saw you.

I know you’ve heard this from me a TRILLION times but when you were walking through the door with your bike in your hands and I saw those calves I was hooked!

I would flirt with you and you would flirt back. I remember leaving little notes with smilie faces for you on the computer screens. I would anxiously wait for the weekly schedule to see if I would be working with you. My heart would leap when I saw your name.

Since day one you’ve supported me every step of the way through school. Remember those long nights when you would help me edit my ridiculous English papers? I don’t know if anyone knows this but you’ve made me a better writer.

You make me feel confident.

You’ve been with me at my brightest and at my darkest moments. You’ve taught me to always look beyond the obstacles and see that things will turn out fine.

You make me a better person.

Sure, we aren’t the PERFECT couple, who is? Like EVERYONE we make mistakes but you know what? We’ve gotten through them.

I remember that no one thought we would ever last. I mean come on, you got me by like what? 11 years?

A lot of people don’t get to say that they got to travel the world before kids or marriage or even with their significant other but you know what? We did. We did it. We’ve traveled a part of the world together to places I NEVER would’ve thought of going to. Thank you for convincing me to go. Visiting those amazing places Australia (which we both agreed would be an awesome place to live), Singapore, and the Philippines (England, Italy, and Spain have now been added to the list since I originally wrote this ). I know that I would’ve regretted it now.

A wise Bill Murry once said, “If you have someone that you think is The One,ndon’t just sort of think in your ordinary mind, ‘Okay, let’s make a date. Let’s plan this and make a party and get married.’ Take that person and travel around the world. Buy a plane ticket for the two of you to travel all around the world, and go to places that are hard to go to and hard to get out of. And if when you come back to JFK, when you land in JFK, and you’re still in love with that person, get married at the airport.”

I mean we didn’t get married at the airport but it’s okay we are still getting married.

…and we still are.

So here’s to Forever.

Love,

Jelly Bean
