Thank You, Darling,

for making me your wife eight years ago today. You are one of the best things that has ever happened to me, and I delight in belonging to you. I hope you know how very much I love you and how my heart belongs to you.

I love your heart for God and your desire to please Him. I love that, no matter what may happen, you are committed to our relationship. I love the way you care for me and our daughters. I love that you work hard so that I can stay home with the girls. I love the way you consider the options and consequences of an action; that balances out my propensity to leap before I look. I love that you, unlike me, consistently fulfill your responsibilities, whether or not you enjoy them. I love your laugh, even when you are teasing me yet again. I love that you still retain your love of adventure and enjoy outdoor activities like camping and hiking. There is so much more that I love about you, but I know you don't like reading, so that's all I will list.

Through everything, our love has only grown deeper and stronger. I look forward to the years ahead and am glad that God gave me such a wonderful man to share my life. I love you, Darling. Happy anniversary.
