Two Down!

Tomorrow will mark our second wedding anniversary! We have officially been married for two years, but together for ten...Time sure does fly while your living life! We have been through a lot together (more than people our age should experience), and have seen each other at our bests and our worsts. It is because of this, and so many other reasons, that I could not imagine a better man to spend my life with.
Here are a few photos to chronicle the years;

Our first year together

The year Emma was born

Our wedding reception at the Museum of Flight - January 2009

Now I knew from day one that Howard was not exactly the "romantic" type, so I usually fill in those blanks. Such as this - I recently found a song that reminds me of us. Give or take a few words, the lyrics match us pretty well.

The song title is "Without You", by none other than the fabulous Mr. Keith Urban who wrote this for his wife Nicole Kidman:

"I've loved you since the very first day
When I caught you looking my way
Smiled, and I just knew it.

And up until you came along
And no one ever heard my song
Now it's climbing with a bullet

It's nice to have someone so honestly devoted
But when it's said and done
Girl, I hope you know that

The traveling, the singing, it don't mean nothing without you
The fast cars, the guitars, they are all just second to
This life, this love that you and I have been dreaming of for so long
Would all be as good as gone. Without you.

Along comes a baby girl
And suddenly my little world
Just got a whole lot bigger. Yes it did

And people that I barely knew
Who loved me 'cause I'm part of you
Man, it's tough to figure

How two souls can be
Miles from one another
But still you and me
Have somehow found each other

The traveling, the singing, it don't mean nothing without you
The fast cars, the guitars, they are all just second to
This life, this love that you and I have been dreaming of for so long
Would all be as good as gone. Without you.

Without you I'd survive
But I'd have to have the notion
That I could live this life
Just going through the motions

The traveling, the singing, it don't mean nothing without you
The fast cars, the guitars, they are all just second to
This life, this love that you and I have been building up so high
It's never going to touch the sky. Without you."

Love you Babe! Happy Anniversary!
