You’re my first, middle, and last thought of the day. I just thought I’d let you know. Our anniversary (the first one), is in two weeks and in the six years we’ve been married, I’ve never once questioned marrying you. It’s likely the only time in my life I ever made a decision I didn’t, at least at some point, regret. You are my sun, you are my moon, and everything in between. I adore you.
I was riding in the mountains yesterday and whenever I’m there, I go to the spot where, alone, we exchanged rings and promised each other we would be together forever. I think about that day often. I was in my favorite place, with my favorite person, hoping you wouldn’t change your mind.
You have taken me on quite an adventure over the years. I had planned on a solitary life alone with my thoughts and perhaps a book or two. I doubt I would have ever left the mountains had you not come along. With you I left the country for the first time, took a cruise on the ocean, been snorkeling in Maui, and rode the Tower of Terror at Disney Land. That last one will NEVER happen again by the way.
You’ve filled my life with so many adventures, but the greatest one is you. You, my dear, are my greatest adventure. I never know what’s next. I’m not sure I want to know. You’re all at once a grandmother, mother, lawyer, teenager, and small child. It’s fun to see what side of you shows up throughout the day. It certainly makes things interesting.
Right now, for example, you’re outside decorating the house for Halloween. You’re absolutely giddy, and I enjoy every minute of it. I don’t even mind that you do all this, and then leave me to be alone to hand out candy to children when I’d rather be hiding in the woods away from humanity. I do it because I love you. I do everything because I love you.
Now you want to spend the winter on the beach and I’m good with that as well. It’s what you’ve always wanted, and I’m happy you can do it. I’ll be here keeping the house warm for when you get back. I might even hop on a plane a few times to come and keep you company when I can. If you decide to make it permanent, I’ll pack up our house and move it all there. All I ask is that you continue to love me, even with all my faults and I will love you with all your perfections.
For now, all I can say is Its going to be a long winter.
Love
Rex
