Two years ago to the day I got married. Last year I went back and read what I posted on our first year anniversary, and realized, this year it’s my turn to plan something. Oops. So I guess that means we’ll be dining out at the restaurant around the corner.

I’m about to go mushy so if you don’t like, don’t read.

When I met S., I knew he would change my life. He made me realize that not all guys are dicks and not all marriages are doomed. I loved him instantly and better yet, he loved me too.

Here’s a sweet cliche for you. He’s a genuinely good guy and I couldn’t ask for a better husband. It’s true.

When we order sushi and split the rolls, he always gives me an extra piece of my favorite kind.

When I tell him I need him, he’s there. Even if that means waking up in the middle of the night (for him, 4pm was the middle of the night because he’s working the graveyard shift right now so his schedule is all turned around) after three hours of sleep and getting on a bus with me to go help me do a photo shoot because I’m too nervous to meet my clients alone. S. always comes through.

We laugh together. A lot. We make each other happy. Not 100% of the time, of course, but the large majority of the time, which is really all it takes.

S. and I have made it through cultural differences and physical distances. We overcame a language barrier. We didn’t kill each other, even while living in a room the size of a shoebox. He’s supportive of me while I try to get a business off the ground and I support him as he moves up the career ladder — both of which are frustrating and time consuming.

I love him so much that sometimes it literally takes my breath away. And I’m not even a romantic, in the typical sense of the word. But, S. does make me believe in love. So here’s to 2 years of marriage and many more to come. I lift my can of Coke to my husband as he snores in the bed upstairs.
