Bliss + Gary . . .

Today is Gary's and my 5th wedding anniversary! Woo hoo!



And you know how people say that the first year of marriage is the hardest . . .

Well, we are still wondering what they were talking about.



Yes, we have gone through some hard times, but they have only made us love each other more. I sometimes wonder, if I have grown to love Gary this much more in only 5 years, how much will I love him in 20 years? in 50 years? I look forward to those days, and to seeing us grow old together.


I am so grateful to have found my perfect other half. Someone who seems to completely get me and understand what I need and what I mean and is patient enough to find out when it isn't completely clear.


Yes, we still have disagreements, but we have learned to talk about them and sometimes we even find that we are both taking our point of view too seriously, which makes us laugh and helps us talk about it more easily. We've also discovered that the old adage about "Not going to bed angry" is completely false. Sometime you are upset just because you are too tired to be rational. Go to bed already! You will probably laugh about how absurd it was in the morning.


I love . . .



-the weekends, when I get to spend all my time with him for an entire two and a half days.



-that he is still a kid at heart



-kissing him on that soft spot on his cheek and smelling "his smell" and knowing that I will be able to enjoy that forever



-that he agrees that I have fantastic ideas (even when other people might think they are silly)



-that he is open-minded and adventurous and willing to take a look at and try interesting/new/unusual things







Here's to you baby, and to our next 5 years!
