Sometimes it's still hard to believe that I'm "old enough" for anything substantial and memorable happened twenty years ago, fifteen years ago, ten years ago...
Yet here I am looking back on one of the most significant days of my life. One that happened 10 years ago today. A whole decade. My wedding day. The day I chose to unite my life with a wonderful man, my best friend, my earthly rock, my leader, my baby daddy, my love, my better half. My Daniel. A man I love more and more deeply with each passing year and who I'm grateful has stood by my side these past 10 years.
We've had our share of ups and downs, survived relocating across state lines twice, bought two houses and sold one, lost two dogs, two cars, a lot of sleep, enriched our lives four times over with our 4 amazing little blessings and everything in between. We've even lived in two separate countries for a combined 17 weeks and counting.
I don't think we'll get a chance to have that big 10th anniversary trip I've been dreaming of. Mostly I'm sad we'll be apart today, separated by physical distance and unable to share our big day together, to take a picture, hold hands or even hug. But God willing, we'll have many other years to celebrate and make up for the "lost" one. Even though 10 is big and worthy of a big to do (in my humble opinion), I celebrate still. For the man you are, the love we share, and the open arms waiting for me when I get home. I love you with all my heart. You, Daniel, are one of my most favorite people in the world of all time, ever.
Happy 10th Anniversary, Babe. And to quote you: "I'm madly and desperately in love with you."
Ten! Wow, it's still hard to believe.
