Anniversary Love Letter

Dear Dan,

Today is our Fifth Anniversary. Did you really think we would make it this long? I bet you had your doubts especially when I pushed over your golf clubs a couple of weeks ago when we were in a fight. Yeah, you were pretty ticked, but after a couple of days passed you were able to laugh about it (phew!!). You have since vowed that you will stop by the grocery store on your way home when I ask you to, and I promise I won't touch your clubs if you do.

Our first date was funny (we had only known each other, what, three days?). I thought it was a pretty funny joke to pretend we were dating since my Uncle Brad was your boss and all, but don't think I didn't notice you holding my hand when we weren't "pretending".

Remember the time when we went to California with our buddies, and you dressed up in women's clothing that was funny, and you looked HOT. If you ever decided to be a woman, I'd be jealous. Some colors just look better on you (pink is one that comes to mind).

You know how Ellie always teases me and says that you are her boyfriend? I like that you tell her you are her boyfriend, but you're my husband. Thanks.

I liked when I worked at the bank and you would stop by to visit. You always brought me a treat, and put it through the drawer in the drive thru. That was back when we were in Logan, and had this RAD scooter. We would go grocery shopping with the scooter, and we had to get real creative with where we put the bags. You loved that scooter.

Even though I don't like it when you scare me (I know it doesn't take much). I like to see you scare other people. My favorite was when you scared that lady I worked with as she was getting soda out of the downstair's storage unit at work, I still laugh when I think about it, she screamed all dramatic and flailed her arms in the air. Classic.

I like to watch you play with Ellie, actually it melts my heart. Who knew you'd be such an awesome Dad? You know that it is your fault she wants to be a daddy when she grows up, right? Especially since she thinks daddies can breastfeed babies (thanks for teaching her how, that was a very valuable lesson).

But honestly the day that I remember the most is the day we were married. I was SO nervous, and I cried...A LOT. The most comforting thing was when the sealer at the Mt. Timpanogas temple told us that we were both worthy to be there. I was so worried about that, especially since I will be the first to admit that I am far from perfect. The rest of our ceremony really is a blur, but I know we received some awesome council and blessings. I also really enjoyed that we only had a luncheon. Ha Ha to those that didn't, we were done chatting with people at 3 pm, and were off to do "married stuff" shortly after.

I can honestly say that I love you more now than I did that day (who knew that was possible?). Thanks for putting up with me, and you're welcome (for me putting up with you).

I love you WAY lots!!

Your Wifee
