many moments

it was the 6th of march, 1995, my best friends 14th birthday, when you asked me to be your girlfriend

it was the 2nd of may, 2000, watching a little league baseball game on the grass at alta canyon, when you asked me to be your wife

and then, 8 years ago today, the 18th of november, 2000, you became my husband

dear husband,

i know that you don't make it a habit to read my blog ~ weird ~ and i don't have any intention of telling you how much i adore you here for all to see .. they would get bored .. but i will say that my life would not be without you in it.

the other day we were talking about this day eight years ago. we laughed that neither of us can remember the song we danced to or what mr. noel said as he married us (you remember something about tools). i remember that you almost cried. not quite like when jon won the state wrestling match, but almost. despite the fogginess of that day, it was most definitely the greatest day of my life simply because of the significance it holds.

i'm fairly certain that you asked me to marry you again the other day when you said "we should get married again" i say fairly because i think you might just want a second shot at picking a dj and that first-dance song or maybe, and more realistically, one more honeymoon night. this time, we would happily sleep on an elephant and take a bath with a dragon because we're cool like that and we crave time alone. it would just be us and the elephant and the dragon.

i hope that i forever deserve your morning kisses and that you will always want to flirt with me at the most inappropriate times. i love to laugh with you. i love my life with you. our life.

happy anniversary

although baby #3 was just a twinkle in *my* eye, this will always be one of my favorite photos of who we are ..
