i like you because...

"we greatly overestimate what we can accomplish in one year. but we greatly underestimate what we can accomplish in five years." peter ferdinand drucker
in five years we have witnessed a presidential change...
in five years we have watched the economy slowly decline...
in five years we have watched two different sets of world games...
in five years we have watched natural disasters ravage the earth...
in five years we have watched as people become more and more earth friendly...
in five years we have watched several of our loved ones fight sickness. some of those battles were lost and others were won...
in five years we have watched as several members of our own family serve and enlist to serve our country...
in five years we have watched many of our friends marry...
in five years we have also watched as some of those friends were also divorced...
in five years we have rejoiced in the addition to children in our lives. some of those children were our own and others were children that we also love dearly...
in five years we have developed friendships with others that are dear to our hearts...
in five years we have developed a respect and love for each other's family...
in five years my love for you has grown in remarkable ways...
when i watch how much the world we live in has changed in the past five years i am amazed to look back and see how constant you have been. no matter how much our life has changed, you have been the same. you truly are my rock.
life with three kids can be insane on days, but we make a great team. many people say that the first 5 years of marriage are the most difficult, but i often say that what we lived through to make it to our wedding day was 5 years worth of stress and turmoil. i am so happy to be your wife. these 5 years have been the best of my life and i look forward to what the future holds for us...
"...i found him whom my soul loves..."
song of solomon 3:4
