...we are coming up on our 2 year anniversary next month and I can't believe how much we have both grown and changed the last few years. Marriage will do that to you. Then a baby will do that to you again. It's a really special thing to be married and it was horrifying when we started. We both had questions and a ton of unknown but we were determined to make things work and have the best marriage in the world. Now, I'm not saying that marriage is all rainbows and butterflies but it's the most rewarding thing I have ever done in my life by far because I have been able to see and feel the growth from both of us and now our little daughter Olivia. I remember times when we would stay out till 1 am talking and giggling on the couch now we are up late taking care of a baby together and learning each others strengths and "Secrets" to getting a child to sleep. We may not dance or date as often as we used to but I get to spend everyday with the love of my life and for me that's enough.
Julia I love you with all my heart. I have been growing more and more in love with you every since we were married nearly 2 years ago and that's not going to change. I think you are amazing. You make my life so much better and so much more fulfilled. I wouldn't change anything that we have done together because we did it together! You are my rock and when you have a hard day everyone else does as well even Olivia can feel it and she's only 5 months! It's crazy how true that saying, "Happy wife, Happy life" truly is. Now I know things haven't been amazing lately and we are still trying to get through the annoyingly long and abnormally lame college phase of a marriage but I know that in 2 more years we will look back at us now and just laugh because of how much fun we had doing the simple things. Please never forget the late nights with Olivia and the warm bottles that relax our sweet girl. Don't forget the hardships and the frustrations that come from marriage because someday we both will be perfect and we will not have to worry about them and we will look back and think, "I wish Jeff wouldn't hang up the towel every time he washes his hands so I could pick on him." But most of all Julia Eden I would like you to remember how much I love you and our daughter and how much you two mean to me. I'm in love with her giggle when I bite her neck or her smile when we play with her feet. I love the late night laughs with you when you try and talk to me for hours and I appreciate all the patience you have with me when I fall asleep mid-sentence. You truly are my best friend and I wouldn't trade that for any other. It's amazing how much you can learn about a person in 2 years.
I'm excited for the next 2 years and the many more after that. Lets see if we can make these next 2 years better than our first 2. I love you my dear.
