My dearest Josh, my one and only, my honey bunny and sweetheart,
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m so happy that, on this day, 10 years ago, I found the person that I wanted to annoy for the rest of my life. That’s right, no refunds! You’re stuck with me! May the odds be ever in your favor! 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In all seriousness, I’ve been really reflecting on these past ten years lately and everything we’ve been through, and I’m not going to lie, it hasn’t been easy. There have been a lot of core moments that have, unfortunately, been seeped in tragedy. From caring for my mom in her illness, to her passing, to “The Great Rat Sightings of 2015” (you know what I mean…that was atrocious), to the unexpected passing of close family members and friends, two house floods and being displaced from our home for more than half of a year, the sudden illness and loss of Nina, “Plumbing Gate” (which continues to be a struggle), James’ health journey, and the list goes on…somehow in each hard moment that comes our way, we manage to not only find sparks of joy and bursts of so much laughter through it all, but also use these moments as a way to strengthen our relationship.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, life and marriage may be hard, AND I am certain beyond any reasonable doubt that you are my person, my soulmate, my everything, and the perfect life partner for me. There is no one I would rather go through life’s mountains and valleys with. I’m grateful for every second of life by your side, and without hesitation, will weather every adventure life presents as long as you are there. You are my WHY. You are my everything.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love you boo. Happy 10 years, and cheers to 1000 more!
