Anniversary

Posted by alicia on Aug 10, 2007 in Life |

Today we celebrate five years of marriage. The day started by Dan waking up, jumping out of bed, running downstairs, running back upstairs, and giving me a present!

I love Audrey Hepburn and this is the most amazing book I’ve ever seen about her. It includes copies of personal letters and scripts. An Audrey quote on the back cover speaks to our marriage:

“Only simplicity and the truth count. It has to come from inside. You can’t fake it.”

After Dan gave me my present, he held me and we talked some of the lies we were told about marriage before we got married. We laid there with a peace, a beauty, and a love that is much different than what I thought I would experience in marriage, it is rougher and dirtier than the fairy tales I was told. This is not Happily Ever After, but I would not trade it.

Happy Anniversary Danny! I promise the UPS man will deliver your present today!
