Two Years of Marriage

This is what Greg and I were doing two years ago today:

Our Wedding Day

Around our wedding, I was really into this country song "Then" by Brad Paisley (still kinda am, if I am honest). Maybe it's a little cheesy. I'm okay with that. The last couple lines from the chorus go like this: "We've come so far since that day/ And I thought I loved you then". 


I've heard people say that having kids teaches a person a lot about unconditional love. I think the same can be said about marriage. I realize that we've only been married two years and that isn't a lot when I compare that to my parents or grandparents, but in the last two years my definition of love has changed because of Greg. Love is less about a feeling and more about a commitment to act in love.


 I was reflecting the other day about some of my not so attractive qualities. I'm not much of a morning person. My ideal day is one exactly like yesterday (ie. my tolerance for change and spontaneity is not super high). In moments of stress I can take out my frustration on the person closest to me. In spite of all of these things I know I am so very loved. Greg tells me and shows me every day in big and little ways. He turns off the light after we watch a scary episode of Criminal Minds. Just the other day he killed a cockroach that I found in the bathroom. When we go out to eat at a "fancy" restaurant, he always lets me choose White Spot. Seriously, my husband is awesome!


Sweetheart, happy two years of being married! I love you more today then I did on July 3, 2010. Thank you for loving me unconditionally, even when I'm not so loveable.
