A few hours ago I woke up happier for the 4015th time.
A few weeks ago I laughed harder than I have in a great while.
A few months ago I learned what it meant to have a boy. My baby boy.
A year ago I gazed from a rooftop over the city in the evening, breeze tickling my cheeks, and witnessed pure beauty.
Two years ago I walked lovingly through the night, relishing the silent falling flakes as the snow crunched underneath my feet.
Three years ago I watched in awe as a waterfall cascaded onto the sand, then drank wine in the dark under a grand palm tree amidst a forest of pines.
Four years ago I fell in love with a tiny baby girl that will forever be able to break my heart with a glance.
Five years ago I had lunch in an English courtyard, then spent a few happy and tranquil moments at the edge of a stone fountain.
Six years ago I learned why so many people go crazy for puppies.
Seven years ago I laughed and sang, overjoyed at having the top down in January.
Eight years ago I made a house a home.
Nine years ago I watched the sun rise over Los Angeles from a far away desert and thanked god for a beautiful life.
Ten years ago I had the very best time with the very best friends in the very best apartment.
Eleven years ago you said “yes” and made every beautiful moment possible.
Happy anniversary, Aline. I love you more than I ever have. Thank you for sharing your life with me and for standing by me through thick and thin. You are the best friend I have ever had and I will always cherish what we have built together. Forever.
All my love,
Matt

Congratulations! My 10th is next Friday. Wish I knew what the appropriate 11th anniversary gift is and I would recommend that you get that.
Enjoy your great day!!

@Chris (AKA: CaJoh), Thanks, dude! I told my wife that the eleventh anniversary is traditionally the Blu-ray DVD anniversary.

Since this apparently a competition of sorts, well, I am SO out of the running…I was married TWICE and between them both I didn’t make ten years, so yeah, yeah, haapy anniversary and all. I have made it four with Steve, doesn’t that count? See how I can turn this all about me?
Seriously, though, this was a beautiful post and you are an amazing couple; thanks so much for giving us all a little glimpse of your life.
