11 years of US.....

Eleven years ago today I married the man of my dreams. It has been an amazing eleven years. Not all of it has been good....like any other couple we have had our share of ups and downs. But through it all one thing has remained constant....our love for one another.

I may have days where he completely pisses me off and I know there are days that I completely piss him off but at the end of the day the fact remains that we are in love.

He is a part of me. He is my heart, my soul, my life. He means more to me than I can describe.

On our very first weekend away he took me to The White Mountains to shop. We spent 3 glorious days shopping. It was so much fun (even though I had pneumonia and didn't know it and was completely hopped up on Sudafed). I knew then that I would spend the rest of my life loving him.

That first weekend was the last weekend in September. Which is why we chose to marry on the last weekend in September. Today we revisited part of that weekend....although this time we had children in tow. ;)

We went to Ikea today. What a fun place. We had no idea. We spent almost 4.5 hours in the showroom portion, never realizing there was another entire level to actually shop in. We found many things that we want for the house....someday.

Back then we started planning for our future together. Today we did the same thing. I love planning and building with him. It's what makes us so close and so strong.

The past 2 days we have been Michelle and Ray, husband and wife. Yes, we were mom and dad but we did grown up things this time. Things for us.

It was so nice. It's been an amazing 2 days and I have fallen even more in love with him than I was before.

I knew the first time he kissed me that he was the one. I know every time he kisses me now that he is the one.....and I couldn't be more happy about anything.

Through thick and thin, good and bad, for better for worse we are husband and wife!


Ok, mushy part coming........


Ray,

I love you with all my heart. You make me complete. You make me strive to be all that I can be. You are the reason that I am the person that I am today. You are my greatest cheerleader. You make me want to be a better person and I love you for that. You are my friend, my heart and my life.

Thank you for an amazing 11 years of marriage. I can't wait for all the others to come.

heart and soul, forever and a day.

me.
