always.

exactly fifteen years ago, we said these words."I do swear that I'll always be there.I'd give anything and everything and I will always care.Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better for worse,I will love you with every beat of my heart."fifteen years.that sounds like such a long time...and I suppose in seasons it felt longer.but today?today it feels like we blinked and here we are.a couple weeks ago he took me on a date and told me he loves me more now and that this song reminded him of us.

"I'm gonna pick up the pieces, and build a lego house.if things go wrong we can knock it down.my three words have two meanings, there's one thing on my mind,It's all for you.and it's dark in a cold december, but I've got you to keep me warmIf you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now.I'm out of touch, I'm out of love...I'll pick you up when you're getting down,and out of all these things I've done I think I love you better nowI'm out of sight, I'm out of mind, I'll do it all for you in timeand out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now."

I've come to the conclusion that words simply fail when I'm trying to describe the deep, unchanging love I have for him. every now and again, a quote on pinterest speaks a part of how I feel for him.the only advice I can give is love God more than your spouse...He is love, and the only way I can truly love is through Him. really.NEVER quit on each other, even when you "feel" like quitting."feelings" fade, truth and love remain.fight for it when it's ridiculously hard.act like you've been forgiven much.and love...love, oh so much. :)happy anniversary my love.today.tomorrow.always.without you, I am not me. :)
