My Love, My Love, My Endless Love,

It’s been four years since we met and six months since we got married, and I can only say I love you more than I did yesterday. When we met, I had little idea how far we would go and only had a hope for the place we would end up, but here we are and I’ve enjoyed every step of the way. You truly are my best friend.

First, thank you for being yourself. I always wanted, and certainly got, “tall, dark and handsome.” But what I didn’t realize is that there would be so much more. You make me laugh every day. You make dinner when I’m slammed with homework. You take the time to drive me to and pick me up from work, simply to have more time with me. You encourage me to play the piano because you know how much I love it. You go grocery shopping with me. You tell me “thank you” for every little thing I do. You clean the bathroom and take out the garbage, without being asked. You’re honest in the situations you find yourself in. You drop everything and serve those who need your help.

I could go on and on, but I just want you to know that I notice and that I’m thankful. Every girl has an idea about what marriage is, but you blew my vision out of the water. You’ve made marriage way better than what it appeared to be everywhere else.

Second, I know we’ve had it pretty good so far. We’ve hardly argued at all, and even then it was little and blew over quickly. It made my love for you grow, knowing that we could get through the good and the bad. But just for future reference, thank you for being willing to talk, even though I know it’s hard sometimes. So far, our talking has kept us liking each other and, heaven knows, we don’t ever want that to stop.

Third, thank you for loving me despite my weaknesses. We aren’t perfect, but it’s the journey to perfection that I would rather take with you more than anyone else. You’re forgiving. I don’t feel judged when I make a mistake, you simply encourage me to be the best I can. You’ve been my partner and best friend in times of weakness, rather than my parents, and that has meant the world to me.

I’m glad last winter we realized that losing each other would be a lot harder than marrying each other. We were right! We have a long way to go, but I’ve never been happier. Thank you for being you, thank you for letting me be myself, and thank you for giving me eternity.

Love,

Your Wife

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
