I married the right guy...

two years ago today. 

I have never met a man who works so hard to make me happy and to support his family.  Even on the days that he comes home from work completely exhausted, he will see me having a hard time and take over parenting duties.  He comes home with chocolate (or these days sushi) just because he thinks I may want some.  He is almost always right. 

It hasn't always been sunshine and rainbows - and won't always be in the future either.  But we have learned to get through the toughest of times together and come out on top.  In fact, the times when I feel closest to him are the times that we realize we are up against the world but know that we still have each other. 

He always has the right thing to say when I am having a tough day or a tough time.  When we discovered my unemployment was basically done he told me: "I know things are looking bleak right now, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  We just have to keep chasing it."  Instead of giving up in frustration, he found a way to make it work.

I truly believe I met and married my soul mate - I cannot imagine spending my life with anyone but him.

When he proposed to me he recited a poem he'd written - and I think it holds true today:

As individuals, preservation of self is our greatest desire. But it is only when we can transcend the needs of ourselves and consider those of another that we truly live.

Here's to transcendence forever more

 

 
Happy anniversary, Anwar.
