To My Best Friend

I wrote this last year and wanted to share it again.  Love you so much, Willy!!


Dear Willy,

I love you so much! Although we have only been married for four years, it seems like we've spent a lifetime together.


You are the most amazing man I have ever met! You love me for everything that I am. And I am grateful everyday that you chose me to be your wife and the mother of your children...(even though there were so many others to chose from.) hehe
I truly love everything about you. You make me laugh everyday. And you are always true to who you are.



We always have such a great time together and you remind me that life doesn't always have to be so serious. I have never had so much fun with anyone else.






And the love you have for me is so apparent. I love how you like to show me off to everyone. Not only am I proud to have found someone so amazing, but you let me know that you feel the same.

And I know that we will always be together. This year has been incredibly tough for us, but you have held my hand and been by my side for every single step of this journey. You bring to true meaning the words, "For better or worse. Through good times and bad."
The day we got married was absolutely beautiful. You make me feel like a princess everyday. And you told me I looked like one on our day.
Everyone was so happy that I married you. Grandpa always told Grandma that he didn't have to worry about me anymore, because he knew you would take care of me. I miss you, Grandpa!

You know I adore you so much! And I love the look in your eyes when you look at me. I can see all your love in your smile.
And even though we took a less traditional path in our lives together, we are doing it our way. And we love each other and we are teaching our kids how to love.


And how to dance through life.


I just had to add this picture of our cake. Your mom did such an amazing job. She put so much love into this cake.


I think one of the things I love most about you is your sense of humor, even though there's a lot of orneriness. (This is when instead of pulling out my garter, he pulled out a black bra....that belonged to my SIL...thanks Brandy and Steve for playing along, it really added to the memories)



And you have given me four beautiful boys.

I know this year has been the toughest. Our marriage has been tested more than any marriage should have to. But we have stood together, strong, through it all. You have watched me change, and been so patient with me. And I know it has been hard to watch me hurt and that it hurts you, too. But know that I love you more than the world and that I always will. I admire your strength and patience. We have had some good dances together and I know that the future holds some more.

I love you, Willy. I always have and I always will!
Here's to a lifetime with my best friend,
Happy Anniversary
