I’m not often over revealing or sappy about my marriage. But today I am going to be. Today is our 9 year wedding anniversary and though we are apart (damn work travel!), I feel as close to him as always.
Are you guys ready for me to embarrass myself with some teenage poetry? Well you’re in luck!!
I started dating Jeremy when I was only 19 years old – and I knew after our first kiss that he would one day be my husband. I wrote this at 19.
Redemption
glimpsed in a gentle blue gaze
rushing me into truth –
a state of naturalness and purity
lost since the hours
of tea party and pretend –
returning with a realization
of hopelessness without another.
I have heard often from family members that they hope nothing ever happens to be because Jeremy wouldn’t be able to handle life without me. Everyone, however, thinks that I would be fine if the situation were reversed. I am a strong person, I definitely portray that and i know others see it. I am here to tell you that Jeremy is where I get my strength. He is where I rest when I am weary, he is where I get support when I am doing something scary, he is who shares in my every fear, joy, idea, and crazy scheme <3
There will never be the proper words to explain what this man means to me, but as the sentiment in my poem describes, he brought magic back into my life that I hadn’t seen since childhood. He gave me purpose, and a clear direction of who I needed to be and where my life was headed.
I do nothing without thinking of how it will affect him, our life, and our children, and I know he does the same. There is nothing more in the world that I could ask for in a partner and I am lucky beyond all belief that he not only exists, but that I found him.
So here is to 9 years married to you my love, we may not have gifts and cards for each other or some fantastic date planned, but our souls are connected constantly and every day we celebrate our love even if it’s as simple as an understanding look.
Thank you for proposing to my crazy ass and thank you even more for putting up with me all this time 😉
Come hell or high water for our 10 year we are taking a damn vacation!
