You came into my life in 2008, showed me enormous amounts of love and LOOK where we are today! Today is our 4 year anniversary. Can you believe it? I can’t help but smile knowing we’ve been married that long! What an accomplishment.
What a journey it’s been!
It is no secret we’ve had our tough times, but with God’s grace we are better than we’ve ever been. He helped us overcome some tough stuff, and the outcome? Now I feel closer to you, I feel more comfortable with you, and I am so much happier. There were days I wasn’t sure I could make it another day, let alone be a good wife, but now even the bad day’s end in a smile and I see us together for the rest of our lives. I have confidence we will work through any issues that could come along and try to stop us, it’s this thing called marriage, and we have forever to perfect it!
I know that is a dampening start to a love letter, but I think it is such a testament to our love for each other.
I hope to continue to grow in our relationship until our last days. I pray that I can be the best wife to you; loving, supportive and encouraging. I want to respect your authority and honor your role as a provider and protector in my life.
I want to thank you for dealing with my emotional breakdowns and for making me a better person along the way. Thanks for loving me when I am difficult- through thick and thin. Gosh, I’m a lucky girl!
Despite some fights and individual stubbornness, I’d say we’ve had a pretty amazing four years. We’ve traveled some, we’ve both graduated university with our bachelor’s degrees or in your case 2 bachelor degrees (always gotta exceed me ha-ha), we have been camping and fishing, we’ve been to weddings, funerals and celebrations, we’ve been to concerts, sporting events, plays and festivals, we’ve made big and small decisions as a team, we’ve made new friends and shared lots of good times with those new and old. Most importantly we have the most beautiful angel together who is the light of our lives. Being a Daddy looks really good on you! Through all these things we have learned to love each other unconditionally. And you make it so easy to love you.
There are so many reasons why I love you. Let’s start with how bad you smell after work. You give a skunk a run for its money. How you always say, “look babe, I cleaned the kitchen.” When really you should be saying that you rinsed some dishes but failed to clean off the counter tops, wash off the stove and fridge, drain out the dish rag, and wash off the table. But you… did the dishes right? Or what about how you can trip over the garbage that I put by the door a bazillion times and still not clue in it needs to be taking out until I verbally express so. Don’t even get me started on laundry. It’s like some foreign activity that only aliens do and heaven forbid you keep the dirty clothes in with all the other dirty clothes. They seem to look so much nicer scattered amidst the house as some kid of décor; man décor at its finest! I may never truly understand you or be able to wrap my head around why you do what you do sometimes, but that's okay. I can appreciate a little mystery. Wink, Wink!
You’re so hardworking, sometimes a slave driver. You have made yourself busy in your own business and for that I commend you! It’s brave and not a safe risk at all, but nothing we have ever done has been the safe way, so how can I expect you to be safe now? Because of your drive and your determination you will be extremely successful and I have no doubt about it. You challenge me out of my comfort zone because I trust you above all.
You are fun and bring so much dry humor into our marriage. It’s unique to you and I love it, so thanks for making me laugh ever-so frequently, by just being you – lighthearted and silly. I love all of your fun- but extremely useless facts- and all of the knowledge that you hold, as random as some of it might be.
What about your strength? I am not talking about when you step on my toes or jump on my back for a piggy back. I am talking about your determination to be a better person, your commitment to be all that you can be. You are eager, focused and passionate about improvement. You work hard to achieve it and I’ve watched you grow into an amazing man that overcomes some deterring trials!
Not only do you aim to be the best, you are supportive of me tackling my goals too. No matter what crazy ideas I have (and I’ve had some good crazy ones), you always support me. What makes you crazy is that you always immediately support me and have my best interests at heart. It is so true what you say, that what makes me happy, makes you happy. And you show this every day. Thank you for being so good to me – loving, patient, understanding and kind.
You have a sensitive and caring nature. You are passionate. You are honest. You are handsome. You are loving. You are talented. You are smart. You are forgiving. You are trustworthy. You are a good friend. You are a good person. You are positive. You are funny. You are determined. You are generous. You’re the best husband for me!
You sure are something, babe!
I honestly can’t imagine my life without you. This marriage means so much to me; it is my greatest source of pride, content and happiness. I love sharing this special union with you, day in and day out. I am so thankful for you and the past four years of our life together. Happy Anniversary!
I look forward to the next 4 years, 10 years, 50 years… I look forward to the rest of our lives.
My heart belongs to you always and forever. 831. I.LOVE.YOU
Your wife, your very very sexy wife, Cor
P.S. Please spend the evening with just me on June 22nd/23rd as we will dine like the rich. Sleep like the kings. And wake-up NOT at the butt crack of dawn!!! :D
