Happy Anniversary!

Beautiful,

It's hard to believe that seven years have gone by so quickly. Thank you. I can honestly say they have been the seven best years of my life. And taking this brief moment to look back the one thing I am most certain of is that I am thankful I get to spend the rest of my life with you.

On that warm Chattanooga summer day seven years ago when you said I do (not I will, but I do...I loved you all the more for caring about the difference) I knew you were the best gift God had given me, but now I know just how little I understood the truth of that statement. I knew you were compassionate, but I had yet to experience the full range of that compassion; I knew you were smart, but I had yet to live with your quiet, humble wisdom; I knew you loved me, but had yet to see how steadfast your love was, even when I am a jerk; I knew you were strong, but had yet to walk through tragedy with you; I knew I didn't want to live life without you, but hadn't realized I really hadn't been living life until I met you. You have given me far more than I could ever hope to give you.

Thank you.

I love you.

Happy Anniversary.

Love,
your band of hus
