Today is our 7th wedding anniversary! Right now seven years ago we were cutting into our wedding cake and having one of the best days of our lives! Can you believe it???
Wait. I can't believe it myself...7 years went way too fast. S E V E N years!!!
Either way, I would not want to do life with anyone but you. You make me laugh, you encourage me, you push me to be a better everything (in a good way), and you also make lattes for me every once and a while. WIN WIN WIN!
Although we have had a few rough years thrown in the pile, I still choose you as my darling husband. We know each other the best, which means we know which buttons to push and which ones to definitely NOT push, but there's something beautiful about this because it leaves room for us to have grace for one another. So hard, but SO NECESSARY. I love you because you chose me, I love you because you have a gentle spirit underneath that giant beard, and I love you because you love Jesus more than anyone on this planet.
Thank you for the husband, father, leader, and man that you are.
And I shall end this public letter with this little snippet that only YOU will understand...
"What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That's a pretty good idea. I'll give you the moon, Mary."
"I'll take it. Then what?"
"Well, then you can swallow it, and it'll all dissolve, see... and the moonbeams would shoot out of your fingers and your toes and the ends of your hair... am I talking too much?"
Love ya Mitchell. Love ya to the moon and back!
