My husband – my best friend – my confidante – my love – my Jared. Thursday night Jared and I celebrated FOUR years of marriage. Friday night we went to dinner and a movie to celebrate. His favorite restaurant – in Wellsboro – is The Dumpling House. He got his normal – curry chicken – and I got the steamed veggies with white rice. Dinner was great – the food, the company, and the conversation. Wall.E came out Friday night so that is what we decided to go see. We both loved it. So much so, that we went and saw it again with some friends Sunday night. Saturday we slept in and then he took me to my acupuncture appt. in Wellsboro – the rest of the evening was spent doing NOTHING – which drives me crazy but I need it at the same time. Sunday we went to church and watched a few movies. We haven’t had a weekend like that in a LONG time – and won’t have one for a LONG time to come. Jared is truly the love of my life and I know that God placed him with me for a reason. He is my shoulder to cry on – the one who reminds me that God loves me when I am discouraged – the one whose smile makes me smile – the one who I want to have babies with and grow old with – I love you Jared.

This was us near my birthday in 2006 – I can’t seem to find one from June of the two of us.
Our first anniversary in 2005.
Our wedding night …
This last picture is a picture of the shale in front of our fireplace. For those of you who don’t know – we live in Jared’s grandparents house. A house that is full of life, promise, memories, and prayers. The first time we had dinner with his grandparents at this house – when we were just dating – I noticed this slate.
The last four digits of my parent’s phone number is 2667 – and has been for as long as I can remember. We don’t use the wood stove that sits on this shale – but I don’t expect it to ever come out.
Sometimes I wonder how I had to nerve to say that I loved this man when I married him. I can’t even compare that emotion to the love I have for him now. We are two different people it seems – we have grown together. The love I have for him right this moment far exceeds the love I had for him on our wedding day.
