I don't consider myself a mushy person (and I don't think most people who know me would) but I do believe in honesty — a necessary ingredient in any serious human interaction and one that Jessi and I have planted and nurtured and grown together.
The truth is that, as I think anyone in a longterm relationship can testify to, it hasn't all been a trip to the Fireworks, Candy, and Puppy Dog Store. But I've learned just as much (if not more) from Jessi during this time of my life than I did in any class or in any book that I read, and I continue to learn from her and from our relationship on a daily basis and I love her dearly for it.
The "proof" as they say, is in the pudding (I wanted to make a pun on "picture proof" here, but I couldn't work out a good enough way of doing it):
Jessi is a wonderful, honest, supportive, strong, bold, caring, beautiful partner, and these scanty words do not do her justice.
Here's to four more years.
And more.
I love you.
If your goal was to make me cry, you succeeded :) My anniversary brownies pale in comparison. Thank you so much. I love you, too--even more than chocolate.
ReplyDeletePS: Thanks for the flattering photos :P
Oh man. I forgot about the brownies.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, I didn't ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet. I think I love Jessi a little bit now just from some kind of little Jessi-contact-contact high. Happy Anniversary to you both!
