This guy. This day. Fourteen years ago today in that little red church above the big blue sea. What an unforgettable day. What a life we’ve built. What a love we share.
Some of the days that filled those years were harder than I'd have liked them to be.But no matter what, this is the guy I want for my forever standing next to me.
Look at us - all young and good looking and naïve to the ways of the married world ahead of us. Just two people who had never pushed a swing for hours or wiped another person’s butt. Two people who stayed out late and slept in later, who had never argued over finances or stressed over fevers. Ah yes, just two people in love.
Little did we know the havoc this world of tantrums and time outs, of skinned knees and schoolwork, of soccer practices and sleepless nights would bring.
Before that day in that little red church we were also two people who had never known the magic of a lullaby sung by the dim of a firefly nightlight. Or chased nightmares aware, felt pride at first footsteps, built forts in our bed or known how big little love can feel. Never could we imagine that day that our happiness would get even bigger. Bigger because of two little people. Two little people that make our anniversary mean so much more.
So happy anniversary to my main Murph – to you and me on this day 14 years ago, every day since, and the forever ahead of us.
Thank you for us – all of us.
