Dear mr. awesome,
Has it really been three years that I’ve been calling you that? More, really- since I gave you that nickname the first week we were dating. I remember you rambling on and on our first date about all of your amazing qualities- how great you were at money management (I didn’t volunteer my track record…uh-hum), how smart you were, how awesome being a submariner was, and how good you were at designing hammocks and loft beds. We were having ice cream at Seaport Village. Then we got on your bike and rode down Harbor on your Honda Rebel, just like Maverick and Charlie in Top Gun.
You used to take Bruno out for a walk with me after our dates and it is somewhere on one of these walks, standing on the corner of fir and 4th in Banker’s Hill, that I first started callling you by this nickname. You were again discussing one of your wonderful qualities and I remarked that you really must be mr. awesome.
And, you are. I knew that marrying you after only knowing you a few months meant that there was a lot to learn, but I felt like I was giving myself a gift that I could open for years to come. You are more than I thought I was getting.
We are so far away from those days in sunny San Diego, flying around town on your motorcycle, staying up way too late everynight playing Guitar Hero in your apartment, and writing each other love notes at church. I still think that you are just as charming and handsome (if not more) and am so grateful that you’re mine. All mine.
We’ve still only just begun dude.
love you, love you, love you.
elle
ps. If we are only three years out and have doubled our family (almost) what does the next three years have in store for us?
pps. thanks for killing that cockroach last night- I never knew that cockroach killing was a skill that I would need in a husband, and I am so glad that you possess it.

HaPpY AnNiVeRsArY!!! I still remember how excited I was for you when you mentioned that there was another guy in your life that you wanted to keep all to yourself instead of blog about him.
) I’m so happy for you Laura!! You are such an inspiration to all of us that know you. *hugz*
Wow. What a great sentiment.
My Dad used to write stuff like this for my Mom all the time.
She couldn’t help but marry him.
He wrote her love notes until the end.
She sends me them regularly.
PS. Stargazers are blooming in sweet profusion! A pleasant reminder…
I always love coming to visit your blog, Laura–and it’s SO much fun having you come to craft club. You’re just a fun girl to have around! Happy Anniversary.
