i love you...

On Monday, I've been married 7 years to my high school sweetheart (and those of you trying to do the math, that's 16 years total). Although 7 years might seem long (and it is in America), the day we got married was just an extension of our relationship. Some people feel like a marriage is the beginning of a relationship, but we were already commit ed to each other. Fully and completely. Marriage just seemed like the natural next step in our relationship. It was a small, intimate, and casual wedding. Very informal - just like us. No big sha-bang. No big wedding dress. No big fuss. Just a day to re-commit to each other and move our relationship forward.

I married my best friend, lover, and soul mate. He is everything I'm not and he balances me perfectly. He understands me and puts up with me. He gave me the two most beautiful and wonderful gifts ever, Oliver and Lennon.

Happy Anniversary Michael. I love you.
