Happy 4 Year Anniversary!

Hard to believe that Alex & I have been married for 4 years today!

I still remember our wedding as if it happened yesterday. It was (besides the day Amelia was born) the best day of my life. So many of our friends and family were there to celebrate with us. The ceremony was beautiful, and our reception was the best party I've ever attended. Four years later, I wouldn't change a thing.

Of course, we have law school to thank for bringing us together. We had all the same classes, but we didn't actually meet until November of 2000. We had a mutual friend, and walked from the parking lot to class together one day. Three things I remember about first meeting Alex: 1) He dressed really well, 2) He liked candy (he stopped at the candy shop to get Jolly Ranchers), and 3) He was so quiet, I didn't think he spoke English very well. Obviously #3 was totally incorrect!

We started out friends, but fell for each other. Our relationship certainly had its ups and downs. Half the time I didn't know if we were dating or if we were broken up. In the end, we knew that we couldn't imagine spending our lives with anyone else.

I'll walk halfway around the world

Just to sit down by your side

And I would do most anything, girl

To be the apple of your eye

Well troubles, they may come and go

But good times, they're the gold

And if the road gets rocky, girl

Just steady as we go

Any place you wanna go

Know I'll be next to youIf it's treasure, baby, you're looking for

I'll search the whole world through

I know troubles, they may come and go

But good times, they're the gold

So if the road gets rocky, girl

Just steady as we go

When the storm comes down you shelter me

When I don't say a word and you know exactly what I mean

In the darkest times, oh, you shine on me

You set me free and keep me steady as we go

So if your heart wrings dry, my loveI will fill your cupAnd if your load gets heavy, girl

I will lift you up

Well troubles, they may come and go

But good times be the gold

So if the road gets rocky, girl

Just steady as we go

"Steady As We Go" ~ Dave Matthews Band

I love you with all my heart and soul, Alex. Thank you for 4 wonderful years! Here's to many, many, many more! (Plus eternity - hahaha!)

Sorry these pictures are out of order - I tried for 3 hours to get them in the right order, but slide.com kept locking up so I gave up.
