Seven years ago today you pulled into my driveway in a silver Mustang. I jumped up from the dinner and table and was almost out the door when you were already at it insisting you meet my parents first. Did I know then that you were the man for me? I should have, you instantly stole my parent's hearts and quite soon, stole mine. Three years later on this very date, four years ago today, you got down on one knee in front of an aquarium and asked me, in my St. Patrick's Day dress, if I would marry you. You read my favorite Bible verse, and even though my heart knew the proposal was coming, the shock of the words took my breath away.

Two years later, one year ago today, we stood in our nervous newleywed shoes and took in the sight of our first house. We breathed it all in and knew that it was ours.
Today, nothing extraordinary may happen, but something extraordinary already has. Who knew that 7 years later I would be writing this from the comfort of my first home, married, to the most wonderful and caring man.
You make my dreams come true. Keep being you :)
