A Letter to Us

Dear Us,

Today is your 4th Anniversary of marriage! Four years has flown by. Sometimes it feels like we’ve been together for way longer than four years. At the same time, I still get butterflies thinking about us. We’ve now added a happy baby with a huge personality that lights up our lives. She is perfect. We still like doing things together as a couple but she gives us more entertainment in 15 minutes than anyone else can. We’re past the point of buying trips to Disney for our Anniversary but still make it a point to do fun things. This year we are going to the apple orchard with Sophie on our Anniversary weekend. A few weeks later we’ll go see Mike Birbiglia’s stand up and a few weeks later staying in a hotel with a fun night at Mideival Times. Most of all, we like being at home, together, doing nothing. We like making diy home improvements for our little craftsman home in Champaign.

We love all the personal touches we’ve made to our home and the amazing neighbors we have just a few steps away. We’ll miss the park being just around the corner and the amazing sunsets over our field. Honestly though, none of that matters because we’ll still be together.

kissWe’re looking forward to our adventures ahead called life. Sometimes it’s hard to live in the moment, because I get excited about things to come, but when I do, it’s the best place to be. Happy Anniversary to Us. I’ve never been happier in my life.

  1. You guys get some really great family photos! Man, you’d be a fun session for me. Stupid distance.
    Happy Anniversary!
    I’m six years in and I still get butterflies too. Hopefully forever!
