3rd Anniversary!

Wow, 3 years together. I remember our wedding day so vividly. Which is good, considering it was only 3 years ago. The day before it snowed, and the day after it snowed. But the day of was +18C. I had prayed almost everyday since the day we got engaged (on October 14th!) that our wedding day would be beautiful weather-wise so that everyone from Vauxhall could make it. +18C fit the bill perfectly.

I remember taking a gravol the night before so I could sleep through the night, I remember waking up early and sneaking out to do some last minute errands. I remember coming back for breakfast with most of my bridesmaids who were staying at my parents place. I remember the morning spent at Bangles getting all of our hair done. I remember my cousin doing my makeup. I remember my mom doing up the back of my dress. I remember getting to the church and realizing I forgot our rings in my desk downstairs, haha. I remember everything at the church (I couldn't stop crying! HAPPY tears, though!). I remember being SO excited when Pastor Rob pronounced us "husband and wife." Finally, I thought! Photos, the reception, friends, family. I remember it all. I also remember almost being killed by our photographer when I almost fell off the cliff!

But if you had told me that 3 years after our wedding that I'd love Ryan even more than I did that day, I wouldn't have believed you. Because I thought that that WAS true love. Really, I had no idea what true love was.

Ryan and I have gone through a lot the past 3 years. Moving, building a house, getting a dog, trying to conceive, having a miscarriage, dealing with that for a year, and now taking every day by every day in hopes that this year our 2-person-and-1-dog family will finally become 1 person bigger.

Ryan, I can't wait for what 2010 has in store for us. The past 3 years have been the best 3 years of my life, and marriage to you is even better than I could have ever imagined marriage could be. I love you more today than I did yesterday, the day before, and every day in the last 3 years. And I'll love you even more tomorrow. I am so grateful you are beside me in life, and I can't wait to see what amazing things life has in store for us in the future. I love you!!!
