These pictures make me laugh. I love them. The first one is of me and Ted this fall in St. Louis. It is the best most recent picture of us together. And, the second picture, as you already know, is on our wedding day. I look at the two and compare our faces, and we have really changed. Marriage has been good to us. I am so happy to see a few more smile and stress lines, and added weight to our bodies. Those are signs of a good life. I would sit and list all the things I love about Ted, but you would probably start yawning at number four. Oh, who cares...this is an anniversary post, and I am allowed to dot on my husband every once in a while. Besides, everyone needs a little public pat on the back at least once a year.
