This week is our 9th Anniversary- I cannot believe it.
Around our house we celebrate weeks- not just days. (Why? Because my guy likes to give gifts- and I like to get them. Really he is the best at surprising me and getting me little things I love.)
Today- Favorite flowers from my favorite florist.
9 years may not be a major milestone- but we never want to grow tired of our love and friendship. We have countless joys and triumphs to celebrate. This last year we have been faced with the biggest challenges of our marriage. June 24th was the 1 year mark of my shocking diagnosis of Ocular Melanoma. It seems like when it rains, it pours. This year has felt like whatever could go wrong did. But my prayer is that we are stronger for it. We are surrounded by so much love and support from our family and friends- and we are in love with our little guy who makes our lives a joy.
So to my best friend:
Terry – you are my rock. Your love and support during the trials of this year has brought us closer together. I am honored and humbled to stand by your side. There is no way I can ever repay you for the time and energy you have poured into my life to help me follow my dreams and regain my health. Thanks for being my biggest fan. For the hours of work you put in to take care of our family. And for the laughter that always puts a negative situation into perspective. And thanks for the beautiful flowers- I love you. Happy Anniversary week.
