10 Years

Richard,

So we've made it 10 years (wahoo) and it's true what honest people will tell you about marriage.  It's absolutely the best and the worst, and the hardest partnership you'll ever have.  It also brings more joy than ever imaginable.  We have to work at it, daily. We have great spells and trickier ones.  We're both right, all of the time- it's amazing- ha!   If ultimately we choose to go through all of that with our best friend in the world, through thick and thin, sickness and health and we just happen to love each other more and more with each major life event... then I consider myself lucky.  I think we're ahead of the curve!  :-)

We're not perfect, but we're perfectly imperfect for each other.  I absolutely couldn't imagine going through this roller coaster ride with anybody else.  Sometimes I don't know whether or not I want to smack you or kiss you.  You gave me two of the most beautiful things on the face of this earth.  You are my soulmate.  My quiet supporter.  My heater.  My sensible other half.  My put-er-together-er.  My fixer.  My fact checker and researcher.  My listener. My super handsome (and currently bearded) partner.  You are the love of my life.  You make me a better person, wife, mother, and daughter.  

Let's hang out together another 50 years or so, ok!?!  

With all of my (totally cheesy) love... 

Laura

PS- You complete me- kidding.  I know you are puking right now, but would you expect anything less?!?  

PPS- Also imagine a Kay Jewelry commercial right now playing with a montage of us.  You.are.welcome.
