Two Years Is Not Enough

“I can’t believe it’s been...” “It doesn’t seem that long ago.” I hear these words repeated over and over. And you know what? It’s true. It couldn’t be more cliché, but it’s true. I CAN’T believe it’s been two years since Jennifer and I were married. It DOESN’T seem that long ago. Yet, she has been such an important part of my life that when I look back at older memories, sometimes I forget that she wasn’t there.

The last two years have been one intense rollercoaster. Another cliché, but another accurate one. It’s been crazy, but a whole lot of fun, because we’re still alive, and as happy and in love as ever. Through all of the nausea of life, my love has remained firm, and grown in size and strength.

The love and joy I have felt in these last two years is not something I could begin to put into words. I am so happy. Jenn, you have changed me and my life so many ways. I’m still me, but I’m not who I was. You make me feel like something in this frame is worth keeping. You make me feel good about myself. You give me purpose. You make me smile.

I will never stop saying the words: “I love you,” “thank you,” or “I’m sorry.” Because I will always love you. I will always be grateful to you, for every little (and big) thing you do for me. And the mistakes I’ve made, I will always regret. I don’t want to leave you with any doubt of how I feel.

I love you. You are my angel, my sweetheart, and my peanut. My best friend for life, and someday, my partner forever. Because a lifetime is not enough, let alone two years.

Very Sweet! Peanut?

Jenn said something obvious one day, then called herself "the peanut gallery." I replied, "thank you, peanut." And for whatever reason, Jenn really likes that nickname. So it stuck.
