Have you ever had a wonderful weekend?
Just think back to that weekend for a moment and remember what it was that made it so very wonderful. Jon & I celebrated our 4th anniversary this weekend.
Our weekend was wonderful because even though we stayed in the city we removed ourselves from our usual routine and made an effort to truly 'get away' from the things that can so easily distract us.
We stayed in the most gorgeous suite I have ever stayed in. There were two rooms. One was a separate living room and kitchenette - which came in really handy on our budget! The bedroom had a king size bed and jacuzzi tub!
It was the most relaxing and enjoyable time that I can remember having with Jon next to our honeymoon!
What a wonderful weekend!

To my love on our anniversary
My love, I can hardly believe that four years ago we pledged our love and our commitment to each other before God. It was the most beautiful moment of my life!
My love for you, thought it has grown and developed, will never change because I love you with all that I am. You complete me. I find out more and more each day just how perfect you are for me.
God has given me such an incredible gift through you, my husband!
My prayer is that our love will continue to grow stronger as we look together towards the path that God has for our lives.
I cannot wait to enter into this new chapter.
It is like warm summer's day waiting to be enjoyed!
Thank you for believing in me.
Thank you for loving me.
Thank you for understanding me.
Jon, I couldn't ask for anything more because you satisfy me in every way imaginable.
I love you!
Happy Anniversary
There are three things that last: faith, hope and love, and the greatest of these is love.

Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.

A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.
