Our second anniversary was last week. We celebrated in our usual fashion... apart. Erik worked and I drove down to visit my SIL.

The past two years have f.l.o.w.n by and I have loved every minute of it. I often marvel at how blessed I am to have Erik as my husband. He is pretty special. I often laugh because he is not the man I "wanted" to marry; he's not the man of my dreams. God knows better than we do though (thankfully) because Erik far exceeds any expectation I had of a husband. Before I met him, I did not know people like that existed. He is by far the most genuine man I have ever met. He is joyful, compassionate, loyal, supportive, sensitive, hilarious, hopeful, and patient. He never fails to tell me I am beautiful, but more than that, he makes me feel beautiful. He is nonjudgmental and forgiving. He makes me feel safe and loved. I know that there is nothing that would make him love me less. He sees the best in me and encourages me to become more than I already am. He communicates so well and his emotions do not alter his judgment. He knows me and he still loves me. He loves me even more
because he knows me.

We celebrated our anniversary on the 29th by what has become a bit of a tradition... we read our vows to each other and reminisced about the year. We also went to Cirque Du Soleil which was amazing! We will definitely have to do that again sometime.

Happy anniversary!! I agree with you on so many things that pertain to Gary and I (not the man of your dreams but God's man for you, makes you feel beautiful etc). What a blessing marriage is!
Two years already?! Wow. Time has definitely flown. Congratulations -- I love you two together.
I'm also curious to hear more about the man you "wanted" to marry. That would be so interesting...!
