- First Year Of Marriage -

     I received this BEAUTIFUL bouquet of Purple Roses (my favorite) from, Jordan. There was an attached note: 

"Jess, cherishing you in my heart and soul while we spend our first Anniversary apart...." 

Even with 8,250 miles separating us, he can still make my heart flutter. I love everything about this Man. This one year of marriage has been the most amazing thing that has ever happened to me. I can't believe I get to spend the rest of my life with him. It truly is a dream come true. Pinch me!!!

Jordan,

ALWAYS and FOREVER - that’s how long I’ll love you.

 
       One year ago I had the honor of stealing your last name and marrying the only Man I have ever loved and will continue to love unconditionally. It seemed like this milestone was so far away, but here it is! And it came fast. We are no longer newlyweds and are now growing into an “old married couple”.
       I know this past year may not be described as “perfect” to others, but it’s our definition of perfect. Through the flaws, mistakes and imperfections of this past year; our relationship, friendship, and marriage have blossomed into something that I never would have expected. In getting to this milestone we’ve reached, I have learned the true beauty that God intended when he made and thought of marriage. We have something that’s pretty darn special and I only hope that others are blessed and get to experience this kind of true love.
       We have seen the worst and ugliest sides of each other; yet we have not run away or given up. We truly do have a strong bond and connection with each other that I still cannot explain, but all I know is that God created this bond and connection. I truly, truly do believe he created you for me for too many reasons to list. You literally complete every empty part of me and balance me out in everything I am uneven in.
       I don’t think I could ever get sick of you! I love waking up next to your snoring face, and falling asleep to your strong heartbeat. I love the look you get on your face when you concentrate, and your contagious and loud laugh. I love your good looks and charm, how big of a dreamer you are, and the goals that you have in life. Thank you for being my rock, my number one fan, for never losing faith in me, and for spoiling me. Thank you for all the hard work you do for us, our future, and thank you for making my world a better place.
     Words cannot express all I hold within my heart. You’ve made every moment worth remembering. Before I met you, I was incomplete. You gave a new meaning to my life and as each day passes, my love for you grows. It doesn't matter where you go in life or what you do - it's who you have beside you. I'm absolutely the luckiest girl to have you beside me for the rest of my life. You are my partner, my love, my confidante, my advisor, my comforter and best friend.
 

Loving you was always so easy, being loved by you was a dream come true. One year down and the rest of our life to go. Happy Anniversary!
 
 I love you too, too much and forever and ever, Amen.
