to three blessed years and many more...

Happy Anniversary, love.  October 7th we celebrate our marriage, three whole years on this crazy adventure together.  Thank you for being my everything.  Words are never enough to express how much I love our life together.  I love you!
Three is our lucky number...here's to hoping and believing our third year of marriage will be filled with all we hope and pray for.  Whatever life throws at us, we can do it together.

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,  or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul. I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body. I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep. Sonnet 17, Pablo Neruda
