On February 28^th of this year my wife and I celebrated our one year Anniversary.  The first Anniversary is considered the paper Anniversary which was a good thing since we can barely afford toilet paper right now.

I am writing this blog as a tribute to my best friend.  Some people might think this is corny, but sometimes I become so overwhelmed by my feelings that writing them down is the only way to truly express the way I feel.  I met my wife about two and a half years ago, and we had no idea that we would be married today.  She was in a bad situation and I was in a bad situation and we both had resigned ourselves to the fact that our fate had been sealed.  The pressure was off.  We got to be friends and never had to worry about it being anything more.  By the time we ended our respective bad situations, it was inevitable that we would be together.

I’ve heard people say that you should always marry your best friend.  I had no idea what this meant until I met my wife.  Putting aside the fact that she was beautiful, intelligent and the funniest person I know, she also happened to be my best friend.  I have never understood unconditional love, but I do now.  The crazy thing about it is that for some odd reason she believes in me.  She has been through a great deal with me, and has only asked one thing, that no matter what happens that I would never give up fighting.  For the first time someone understood my struggle and never made me feel less than.  My wife is a survivor who has gone through some pretty horrible things in her life.  When she tells me these stories, it is as if she is talking about someone else all together.  She is not that person anymore, and it breaks my heart to think that someone has ever caused her harm.  She is a fighter and contrary to what she might think, she is stronger than anyone I know.  She considers herself a scaredy cat, but I see great courage in everything she does.

My Mother and Father gave us fifty dollars for our Anniversary gift and we spent the day just being together.  We went shopping at Salvation Army, a favorite pastime in our household, and we went to lunch.  It was the greatest Anniversary ever.  I had no idea that love and marriage was suppose to be this way. I love my wife, and am a better person by being with her.

I am desperately in love with my wife and feel like my manhood is strengthened through that admission.  God brought us together and for that I will always be eternally grateful.
