Happy Anniversary Jus!

Cheers to 5 years of blood, sweat, tears, & belly-aching laughs! Doesn't it feel like we just got married though? Feels like it was only yesterday, living in the P-side, waking up to go to Joe's Coffeeshop for breakfast. You ordering your orange juice with a glass of ice and Becky calling you a "good boy." I remember seeing an old couple in that shop, thinking to myself how it would be nice to be old with you, wondering what growing old together was like for them? Now look at us. It's manifesting cause hey, we're thirty. And that's pretty old. But maybe it still feels fresh and new because we're still learning things about each other and about being married. Love has never been something we could just quit, working through it all (even at those moments when we wanna throw in the towel). With you, I've been able to see my own flaws and check myself. Thank you for that (especially for the patience required). And I'm pretty sure I do the same thing for you, magnifying them flaws. Don't get me wrong, I love all the quirky things that make you, You. That's how you charmed me into this "ball & chain". 
I hope we do grow old together Jus. I can already see your old man habits. And I have faith that we will even though nothing is ever guaranteed in life. But one thing is for sure, for me--this thing we got, this thing called love, is definitely deeper and sweeter with age. Here's to all the sweet memories we have made, lessons we have yet to learn, and the different ways to grow with you. I love you baby...
