Ah, a little late in the day, but I didn't miss it.
Happy monthly anniversary to my lovely wife. It's wonderful to be at home with you, safe and warm from the cold and snow in Seattle lately. I love you, and I hope I make you happy.

Happy 113 months to my wonderful, wise and lovely wife. There's little I can say but that I love you and I'm grateful we have a life together with our little home and our three cats. I have to admit that I don't always appreciate it, especially when I go loose into my own frustrations and issues, but I know...somewhere in my head...that you are there and I have a safe place to come back to. And that no matter what, I won't be alone. You bring me back. You help me clear away all the smoke.
I love you, and I hope we will always be together.

Happy monthly anniversary to my wonderful, lovely wife. It's a peaceful Sunday here. We are at home, surrounded by our three dozing cats. Dinner is slowly cooking in the oven. The autumnal sunlight is coming through the trees. Days like this seem to stretch out forever in a good way. It's wonderful to have days like this, when the outside world is distant, and the gentle pleasures of home are apparent.
And coming on the monthly anniversary just seems to give it a golden hue.

Happy 111 months of marriage to my wonderful wife. In these past few weeks, you've been kind and supportive as I looked for, and obtained, new work. You have made a turbulent time far more tolerable. Thank you for your love and faith in me. When I held you a couple days ago, and told you "I'm so glad you are my wife," I barely tapped how grateful and lucky I am to be with you.

Happy 110 months to my lovely and loving wife. My love, I hope you are happy in our home with our cats underfoot and the trees surrounding us. Although I don't always say it, I love our little place in the world, and despite recent outside stress, it's always good to come home and be with you. I love you.

When you start out dating, you never know how things will turn out. You are nervous, awkward, unsure, but compelled to find someone to be with. You meet a lot of different people...some you have good memories with, and others you shake your head over, wondering what you were thinking. The dirty secret about dating and relationships that no one tells you is this: we find ourselves learning about ourselves (like what we like and hate about our ideal mate) at the expense of the people we date. It's only after you break up do you get the bulk of the wisdom that was contained in your brief relationship. It's usually a hard-earned knowledge, and in the ebb and flow of falling in and out of love, you never think you'll find "The One."
And then, one day when we aren't really looking, we find someone that elusive One ...someone who loves us for who we are, and someone who we love and trust despite all of our past heartaches and headaches. This someone makes us take that leap because this one is not only better than everyone else around, he or she is that person we can't imagine living without. All past treacheries fade and you only see a promise of love now and forever.
Today, my wife Sheila and I celebrate nine years of being married. When I first started in the awkward fumblings of dating (and boy was I a dork as a wee teen), I never imagined I would end up married, living in the Seattle area, having a cozy little home of my own, and working for one of the top video game publishers in the industry. Sure, I daydreamed about ending up with, say, Shirley Manson circa Garbage's first album...or Bjork circa "Human Behavior," but never in my wildest dreams did I think I would end up with someone infinitely better as my wife.
After nine years, I can only say that I hope I made her more happy than upset in our time together. I also hope I am still worthy of her. I freely admit I've done dumb, emotional things in the past, and I'll likely still do them. But she inspires me to believe in myself and to improve, yet she loves me for who I am...prime qualities when you look for a One.
So, to my wife, I love you. Happy nine years. And I hope many happy more.

On this day, nearly nine years ago, the woman I love became my wife. I love her, and am lucky to be with someone so caring, warm, charming, and loving.
Next month we will celebrate nine years of being together, with an extra five of knowing each other. Since then, she has seen me change and grow, fall and rise. Through it all, she has been with me, loving and holding me. I hope I can always love her the way she loves me.
