Today, Tom & I celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. Oh, how the time flies...
We've been friends since 1996, started dating in October of 1998 (almost 11 years!!), and were married 5 years ago today right here in Santa Barbara.
The last five years have been such a wonderful adventure. Getting married, honeymooning on Turtle Island, living and working in Boston, moving 3,000 miles across the country and putting down roots in Santa Barbara. Starting our life here, exploring and enjoying our "new" town, and
the biggest of all - starting a family.
Cyanne has been the best, biggest, and most amazing change to happen in the last 5 years and we can't imagine a single moment without her. We marvel at what our lives were like before she arrived. What we did and how we spent all of that free time is a total mystery to us now! And we wouldn't have it any other way. Each day brings a new surprise, adventure, word, gesture, smile or laugh. It's hysterical, entertaining, and amazing all at the same time. It makes us realize how much we love each other but even more so, how much we love (no, make that adore...) Cyanne.
We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful, incredible, too-cute-for-words, independent daughter.
I am truly blessed to have such an incredible, loving, caring and supportive husband. I could not ask for a better friend, partner, and soul mate. I love this journey we're on and look forward to every new day and experience.
So, on that note - a famous poem but a good one nonetheless:
To My Dear and Loving Husband (A. Bradstreet)
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.
I prize thy love more then whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompence.
Thy love is such I can no way repay,
The heavens reward thee manifold I pray.
Then while we live, in love let's so persevere,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.
