My Girl

So yesterday was our 3rd anniversary. I should have posted something then, but my excuse is that today is the 3rd anniversary of our first full day as a married couple. I just want the world to know how amazing my wife is and how much I love her. I know that the quote I'm going to post isn't mine, but it really expresses exactly how I feel about Jillian. I have learned so much from my wife and am lucky enough to be married to my best friend.

"I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn, and we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them, and we help them in return. Well, I don't know if I believe that's true, but I know I'm who I am today because I [know] you: Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun; like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I [know] you I have been changed for good.
"...So much of me is made of what I learned from you: you'll be with me like a handprint on my heart. And now whatever way our stories end I know you have re-written mine by being my friend: Like a ship blown from its mooring by a wind off the sea; like a seed dropped by a skybird in a distant wood... Who can say if I've been changed for the better (I believe I have been changed for the better)? But because I [know] you I have been changed for the good."

Oh Steve....so mushy. :) And you quoted the words to one of my favorite songs of all times!! Love it! Very well put. And about leaving Sam with his grabdparents for a week...I would LOVE that (even though I would miss him like CRAZY and worry that he'd forget me)...someday maybe.

Man! You are such a sweety Steve. You should give Jer some pointers on how to be a little more romantic...Scratch that, he'd probably get mad. hehe
Happy Anniversary!!! I hope you two have an eternity more happy ones! Love ya both!
