I feel so old. I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since I said, “I do” to the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Wedding Photo[4]

(I don’t know what the deal was with that picture. He really was happy.)

Twenty years of unconditional love, support, and unending encouragement. Twenty years of being loved, cherished, and totally spoiled.

Twenty years of growing and maturing together, fighting and making up, and learning that there really is no one I’d rather be spending my life with.

Twenty years of hanging with my best friend, raising a family with a loving and devoted dad, being supported by a man who always puts his family first.

Twenty years of being shown what serving others looks like by a man who has perfected it. Twenty years of complementing each other’s strengths and shoring up each other’s weaknesses.

Twenty years of learning what true love really is. I’m looking forward to the next twenty years.

I love you, Brian! Thank you for loving me just as I am – whether that’s been happy or grumpy, loving or moody, thin or obese, I’ve never doubted your love for me…but I know we’re both enjoying you being able to get your arms all the way around me again. 😉
