14 years

May 8th was our wedding anniversary.  It was on a Tuesday, which is the busiest day of the week for me so my expectations were extremely low for anything fun happening that day.  I'm okay with that, I've never felt things had to happen on that day for it to be special.

So, I was busy doing something in the basement when I hear Jonathan call out for me.  I didn't answer right away, I waited until he was closer so I knew he'd hear me.  Well, he found me and said that someone was at the door.  I was immediately embarrassed because I could guess how long that person had been there, assuming that he had answered the door first.

I went upstairs to find a delivery guy with these beautiful flowers for me.

Jaaromy was so sweet to send these on a day when there would be little time to think about, or celebrate, our milestone.

They were so pretty, and fun to take pictures of, too.

Jaaromy and I have been through a lot together, things that might seriously strain the relationship of any other couple.  I credit our strong relationship to both our parents who have unfailingly been positive examples of healthy marriages.

For anyone who knows Jaaromy, knows he is a worrier.  I love, and take tremendous comfort in, the fact that of all his worries, he's never worried about whether or not I love him.

Life has been hard at times, but I'm so glad that I have him to share it with.  He makes me laugh, and while that might sound overly simplistic, I believe that has been crucial to surviving our trials together.

When we first started dating, I felt the Spirit so strong, letting me know that this was right.  I was supposed to be with him.  I've been his ever since and I've never looked back.  I'm so excited to spend eternity with him.  Especially since I'm sure he will only get funnier with time.
