5 years ago today...


I married my honey bunny.

As we celebrate this important anniversary, I want to reflect on what these five years have been like for me. Richard has brought so much love and happiness to my life. He is my rock.

I love him because he has a heart of gold
I love him because of his faith
I love him because of his family values
I love him because he's full of passion for life
I love him because he loves my family
I love him because he wants children
I love him because he's spontaneous
I love him because he can be so silly at times
I love him because he completes me
I love him because we balance each other
I love him because he fights for what he believes in
I love him because he looks out for me
I love him because he wants to make me happy
I love him because he tells me he loves me "more" (but I love him more!)
I love him because he's hardworking and looks out for our future
I love him because he knows how to make me smile
I love him because he wants to go to Universal Studios (he's a big kid)
I love him because he can apologize when he knows he did wrong
I love him because even when we fight, I still feel love

...and isn't that what it's all about? After all, no marriage or relationship is perfect. We don't always see eye to eye and since we're both very outspoken and passionate, we can have quite lively conversations! He is the most loving, sensitive, caring person, but he can also be grumpy and temperamental at times.

But one thing is for sure. I love him more today than I did when we were married. He has been there for me at the worst of times (losing my Mom and then Mami) and he continues to be there for me every day, putting up with my depression and craziness. He is truly my soul mate.

I love you, Richard.
