As stated on Facebook, today marks my ninth wedding anniversary. It feels really weird to realize that I've been married that long. I don't really remember much about the wedding or the days leading up to it, there was plenty to get organized, a trip to Chicago to follow. Moving in to an apartment and all the joys of wedding planning itself.
She's an incredibly intelligent and beautiful woman. I still feel comfortable around Melissa, that sense of calm when I've got so many other troubles floating through my head, that feeling that "Hey, XYZ sucks, but I'm doing something right over here." I'm not sure what it is that makes us work, but I think a good part of it boils down to a mutual desire to not give up on it no matter what happens. Despite what I just said there have been downs, fleeting moments when I've asked myself if this is going to last, but giving up is too easy and working through it makes us stronger.
So yeah, happy anniversary, love.
