Five Years Later.
Five years later, I still love you as much as I did in the beginning. Maybe more.
Five years later, we've added to our family and I've seen what I knew to be true five years ago -- that you are a stand-up, awesome dad.
Five years later, I can still remember standing in line to be married by Judge DePriest at the courthouse and how we joked that if anyone expressed doubt over our method of marriage, we could assure them we were 'married by da Priest.'
Five years later, I am still in awe of how dedicated you are to your work and your family.
Five years later, I still think you're a genius. No, make that a super-genius. Like Wile E. Coyote, only smarter.
Five years later, I am amazed that two people's goals could be exactly the same.
Five years later, you still spoil me like you did on Day One, indulging and supporting my whims, okaying every frivolous expenditure, and making me feel better about my mistakes.
Five years later, it knocks me out that I have someone who knows what I'm thinking in any given situation and who feels the same.
Five years later, I'm still flipping the bird to your meddling aunt Julie and uncle Eric, who swore you'd regret it if you married me, because I was clearly crazy but devious enough to keep my insanity hidden from you.
Five years later, I look around now and then to take in everything I have and everything we've got going for us. I know it is in large part thanks to you. You've played such a large role in making me who I am today, and I'm proud of it. Five years ago, the 'American Dream' seemed so distant -- Five years later, we're living it.
Five years later, my faith in you remains unwavering -- I know I can trust you completely with my life, my kids, and my heart.
Thanks, Greg. I love you. Happy Anniversary.
