Happy Anniversary

June 14, 2005

Today is our second wedding anniversary and I have been working feverishly trying to get this update ready.  There is a part of me that is amazed that it has already been two years, but there is also a part of me that is a disappointed that it has only been two years.  Disappointed, not in the manner of too much time has been spent, but not enough time has passed.  It seems that the rest of my life cannot come soon enough.  Every passing day with her leaves me yearning for just one moment more.  Just one more moment where I can know her more, one more moment of her lips and whit.  Every moment where we have not grown closer together seems like an eternity wasted.  I know real thirst and it is missing my wife's smile.  I know hunger and it is wanting to know more about her graceful charms. 

-- I love this woman.

I am not saying that our marriage is perfect by any stretch of the imagination. In fact I am not sure that I could feel love or give love if we were both perfect.  It is loving each other in spite of ourselves that we know love.  My wife has tolerated and sacrificed a lot in the past five years of our relationship.  It is in her forgiveness that I know that I am loved.  She loves the real me not some illusion that I may have presented her.  Likewise I wouldn't know that I loved her if not for her faults.  Her strengths are more than I could ever dream of, but her faults are the pinch that reminds me that this wonderful woman is real and graces me with her benevolent presence.   She is so much better than a dream, because she lends herself to me in my waking hours. 

-- I love my wife.

Honey, when I said that these were the best years of my life, I meant it.  I can not dream of a life without you or a life that could equal the prize that I have in the courts of reality.  No man has ever known the grace and the beauty of a woman like you.  Also I have never lived any amount of years, that have come close to being as exciting and vibrant as my marriage to you.   You are the most precious person I know and my best friend.  You are always there for me, no matter the trouble.  You have always believed in me and continue to support me in every respectable endeavor.  I look forward to our continuation of this divinely blessed adventure.  Next to knowing Christ, knowing you has become my life's work.  My only request is that you be patient with me as I learn the difference between wisdom and knowledge as we share our lives, our hearts, our thoughts, our prayers, and our bodies.  

-- I love you, Becca. Happy Anniversary
