Ben,
730 days ago - in the middle of a thunderstorm - we stood in a courtyard and vowed to love each other for the rest of forever.
Today, I still haven't quite figured out how we ended up there. I know the steps - boy meets girl. Boy and girl establish friendship. Boy and girl fall in love - but I just can't quite wrap my head around some of the details.
Like, I'm still not sure how you handle my feistiness, my stubbornness, and my outrageous ideas. I'm still not 100% certain how you accept my clutter, my quirkiness, or my weakness for reality television. I still can't fathom how you actually find me attractive in the morning.
But of this I am confident: never in my life have I met someone who loves as fiercely as you do. Your devotion to me, and to our relationship is rock solid, and I cannot begin to express how fortunate I feel to have you as a husband, and a best friend. You came into my world - this world of chaos and strong-will and messy morning hair - and insisted on having a place in my future. And here we are. You are my future. We share a future.
I'm still feisty, stubborn, disorganized, quirky - and you dig that. You accept me. Even the part of me that loves The Bachelorette.
Happy anniversary, babe. You really are the best part of my day, every day.
Loving you way more than I did 2 years ago,
Amy
