Number nine.

Today is our ninth wedding anniversary. Our ceremony, in 2000, was beautiful, homemade, our own. We basked in the affection and good wishes of our family and friends. Nine years later, we are even more in love than we were then. Though we have undergone difficulties in other areas of our lives, what we have felt for each other has never wavered, and has only deepened.

Beth, though you will never see this post because you do not use the Internet, I love you.
