Five Years Ago Today

Five years ago today I married my best friend. I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful husband and best friend, as I know they are hard to find these days.

Five years ago today I met my Prince Charming at the end of an aisle. He continues to sweep me off my feet, day in and day out.

Five years ago today I promised John that I'd be true to him in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I promised him that I would love him and honor him all the days of my life. I still abide by that vow, no matter how happy or sad, tired or awake, healthy or ill I'm feeling. I will never forget what I promised him five years ago today.

Five years ago today I had my dream wedding where family and friends joined us for a wonderful celebration of our new life together as husband and wife. We continue to talk about our wedding day, of all the laughs and memories we have. We look at our photos and smile endlessly. It was a truly amazing day.

Five years ago today I no longer walked through this world as an individual, but as a part of a whole. I can't believe all we have done together. We have faced challenges and adversity all around us, but nothing can tear our partnership apart. He is my everything.

I love you John, with all of my heart,


and I always will.
