18? Really?

I can't believe this, but March 22nd is our 18th wedding anniversary. So happy 18th sweetie! You're the best. I love you.

( I wanted to put some of our wedding pics in here but they are all in storage so I only have my bridal pics. Wow do I look young! And don't you love the big 'ol bow on my behind--oh the 80's!))

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How Do I Love Thee
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height

My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight

For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee to the level of everyday's

Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;

I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with a passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.
