3 Years and Forever to Go

Today, I reflect upon the years of love, change, and growth. Jamison you have been an amazing husband to me.  I know it’s love but above all it is our friendship that keeps us strong.

  
The planning you did was so heart felt and true to who we are. Every detail of yesterday and today had me in mind. My favorite part above all was your handwritten card. I will cherish it always.  The way you took the time and expressed yourself means everything to me. Let’s not forget the wonderful resturant that had AWESOME food! 

My steak was cooked to perfection. The crab cake in lobster sauce was juicy, sweet, and flakey. The calamari was prepared with an asian flair. It was sweet, spicy, salty, topped with bean sprouts and cilantro. 

Can we talk about the lobster mac and cheese? Cheesy crunchy ooey gooey elbow pasta laced with tender lobster.  I was in cheese heaven. The dinner was incredible. 

Last night after dinner, the hostess came to me and said what makes your marriage work? Before I could answer, I seen Jay reaching for me by the valet. I quickly replied “it works because he is truly my best friend.” 

As I walked away the woman smiled and said ” I wish that for me too.” On the drive home we dicussed how we’ve grown from our wedding day. We talked about the positive influence on one another from our union and the fun we have.

The most important part that stuck out to me was the question Jay asked. “What do you think makes our marriage so different than our long dating history?”

I told him “The understanding that we both felt we were worthy of the risk.”  Marriage is a contract that people are most afraid to enter into due to the unknown outcome. The safety net of not having one allows people to breathe knowing at anytime they can just walk away without strings. 

  
However, I always knew Jay deserved better than that. We deserved better than that. 

Marriage has been amazing so far. I fall more in love with my husband on a daily basis. His early morning hug before the day even starts is always the confirmation that we come first. 

Jay thank you so much for an amazing time. Life is good. 

Xoxo
