For the one I love . .

17 years ago, we fell in love
8 years ago, we were married
5 years ago, we brought Madeline into the world
1 year ago, we added Sophie to our family.
Every day, 
I am amazed at how our love continues to grow.
Through every up and down, twist and turn, and  bump in the road,
We grow closer and stronger, 
And learn more about each other. 

"Till the snow falls on the Sahara
 And the sun freezes over
 When the Mojave red turns into blue"
is how long I'll love you.
1 week . . . is about how long I am guessing it will take you to read this post.
Happy Anniversary.  I love you.
