Wow... what can I say?
Today makes one year since my wife and I said "I do." It's the most amazing feeling to sit and think "holy crap an entire year has gone by." In some instances, it feels like it's been years longer, and in others, we can't think of where the year went.
For a brief lowdown of our story, we met in Sept of 2002 online on the Kitten Board dedicated to Buffy's Willow/Tara fan fic. There was immediate chemistry and attraction. We had hard couple years, both of us made some choices we regret, we hurt some people that never should have gotten hurt, all because we were mixed up and unsure. But finally in 2004 we made it right and became official. I visited her here in canada 4 times, and she came to the states for a few weeks to visit. I actually proposed in October of 2004, but over Christmas with her, Christmas Eve night, I officially proposed with ring and all. She said yes *again* hehe, and then in May I came to officially live here with her in Ontario.
We married on June 2nd, around friends and family and had the most amazing time. I was more nervous than I had ever been in my entire life...I was shaking, visibly so, but one look from her and the feel of her hands calmed me, yet my heart still raced. It was AMAZING. *sighs*
-On a gruff note, Immigration is SLOW and aggrivating.-
But now, one year later, it's nearly 100% complete, we have a nice big apartment, two adorable cats, two full time jobs, and a love to last a lifetime...and beyond. *smiles*
I love you, Ernestine. You are my one and only, my forever and my always. You give my life meaning and joy. You fill the void that was in my heart for so long. You put me back together. May we have many many more years to come, to celebrate our life and love together, with our children surrounding us with love and laughter. And when the time comes, may we leave this world together.
