Two years married :)

"In trust, these hands; entwined, two souls begin."

        Two years ago today, December 10th, I married my dearest Joe.  He is honestly my rock, my love, and my best friend.  He keeps me going; never lets me feel sorry for myself through the troubles we've both endured; helps me to become a stronger/better person with each passing moment; helps me to climb each emotional or physical mountain; and makes me laugh every single day!  His smile melts my heart; his laugh is contagious; his will is strong; his loyalty is beyond words; and his soul is beautiful... and I personally think he is a hottie hothot! ;) I am one very lucky lady.

        I believe in soul mates; and I'm absolutely sure Joe is mine... as I am his.  Yes we both have our quirks that drive each other crazy; yes we have our moments where we yell or don't want to talk at all; yes, there's good days and bad;  we're not perfect.  However, we are imperfectly perfect for each other; and I love it.  I wouldn't have it any other way.

        Here is a poem I wrote  for Joe about two years ago, just before we were married...

-the poet and the painter-

And when I say I've given you my heart...

Before mine eyes close, 'mid the starry night;

scattered high-stacked papers portray the art

of this writer's hand, as it bends to write.

As I consider, to its full extent,

desire - consumed 'midst passion and dream;

forever waits, but for a brief moment,

for life to prelude what is meant to be.

And then I feel; warmth from the painter's skin;

hues of affection blend, blushed like a rose.

... In trust, these hands; entwined, two souls begin.

'Midst a cynical world, I dare compose

of Love: a beauty that lasts forever.

And from its face, shan't my gaze cease; never.

        I love that poem.  Through  thick and thin,  love is a beauty that lasts forever. :)  So much as happened these past two years and we have stood side by side through it all.  We've been to hell and back again, hand in hand... and we're so very excited for the many, healthy, years to come!  We are truly blessed to have each other.

       I love you, dearest.  Happy anniversary!!  Here's to the first two years of marriage and to many many many more!  Thank  you for being a wonderful  husband. I  hope I make you as happy as you make me. :)
