Dear Jeremy,

Thank you for loving me unconditionally. Thank you for making me smile. Thank you for the little things, like making me bacon on a Saturday morning or riding your bike with a flat tire to pick up the pottery that I forgot to pick up or doing the laundry unexpectedly when you know I've had a rough day. Thank you, most importantly, for your faith and your ability to make every day the perfect day!

You always thing of yourself last and others first. You are one of the most generous people I have ever met and all who know you love your kindness. You are one of the most faith-filled people that I know and no matter what, your Catholic aith always comes first. I admire your persistence, your courage, your sincerity, and your gentleness.

The last two years have been two of the best of our lives. We have gone through a lot of great times, trying times, and many in between. From a beautiful wedding to a fun vacation in Rome despite being on a plane that caught fire, a brand new and absolutely wonderful house and all of the work that comes with it, a trip to California to see your best friend get married, lots of studying, the long wait for a child, the trials of infertility, the stress of becoming licensed foster parents, the joy of finally becoming licensed, and now the wait to receive our first child. But through it all, you remain a smiling face and a perfect example of patience. I have learned a lot from you in the 7.5 years we've been together and there is still much more to learn. I am a better person because of you and your example.

Thank you for being my best friend, my soul mate, and my life long partner! You are the best and I am the luckiest girl in the world. I love you and am so excited for the continued journey that we are on. I am especially excited for the (hopefully soon) opportunity to see you become a father and to raise our children together.

Happy Anniversary to the best hubby ever! I love you Jeremy!

Love,
Karen
