Husband,
I love you. Thank you for this exciting and wonderful year we have shared. Our God truly has the best plans, far more than our hearts could have ever imagined. This year has been a blessing! We got married, honeymooned in Naples, cooked together, danced a lot, enjoyed walks, fed the birdies down by the lake. We have made this new place in Orlando our home. You have let me redecorate our little bungalow, turning your bachelor pad into a cozy place for two. You even looked the other way when I took down the football pictures that you had up on all of the walls. We have explored this our community by foot, you even woke up at 4:30 am to do long runs and track workouts as we trained for our first marathon. Even though you became injured last year, you were there for me. You ran with me when it was hard and held my hand those last few miles as I crossed the finish line. We got to spend our first Thanksgiving and Christmas together with our families. We encouraged each other, studied together, there have been many bookstore and coffee shop dates. I finished my internship and you your second year of law school. We have found a church that we love, one that preaches grace and is a testament of God’s glory. We have met some good friends, too. Ones that pour into our hearts spiritually and enjoy company together. We both like a clean home and a good cup of coffee–I love that. Thank you for all of these memories that we have made and the love we share.
Love,
Your Wife
