To be fair, Nate has also acknowledged that I'm a patient woman!
Regardless, we love each other, for better or for worse and ten years of marriage is proof of that. Nate and I have come an incredibly long way over the past decade. Career paths have emerged, our family has grown, and our address has changed (four times in ten years). The couple that we were when we got engaged is very different from what we are today. We have grown together, complimented each others strengths and differences and have become a devoted and faithful couple.
In light of recent events and our 10 year anniversary, I think I can speak for both of us and our passion for living life with intent from here on out. We will literally, "stop and smell the roses" and as life brings additional grief and sadness, because that is inevitable, we will be comforted knowing that our marriage is strong and that together, we will overcome any hand that life deals us.
To my kind, charming, patient, warm, steadfast, and ridiculously handsome husband, Happy Anniversary. You love with conviction and I thank God for the day we met. We have walked on this journey for 10 years now and there is no other person I want by my side through whatever adventures (as well as the road blocks) we come to in the years ahead. You're my best friend and soul mate and a girl couldn't ask for anything more.
I love you and am grateful for this moment and every one that lies ahead.
