Our Anniversary

9 years ago (tomorrow) I walked down the isle. I was 20 years old, and madly in love with my best friend. We were so young, I think back now of everything we gave up to be with each other, yet it was all worth it. I could not imagine doing things differently.

I don't remember much from that day. I do remember getting ready, and having to run back to my mom's for her shoes while she was having her hair done.

I remember the butterflies in my stomach, being so excited and nervous at the same time.

And I remember the smile on John's face when he saw me. The smile that reminded me that he is just as in love with me as I am with him.

The little things from that day are a blur, the flowers, the music, the dress. All the things that seemed SO IMPORTANT at the time. They now are just faded memories.

However, that smile.... I will remember that forever.
