To my husband

4 years ago today, my childhood dream of marrying my best friend was no longer a dream, but instead a reality. And although it seems like just yesterday that we were getting ready to walk down the aisle and say "I Do", so much has happened. Not only have I fallen even more in love with you every time I set eyes on you, we've done so many things together that I never would have done had I not met you. We've traveled to some of our favorite places - Jamaica, Mexico, Vegas, Chicago, and PCB to name a few. We've started racing triathlons together - from our very first sprint to our first Ironman together. We've started a company, grown that company and made a name for ourselves. We've made new friends, and been there for each other when some "old" friends became just memories. I've watched you race across the US on a bike, take your diabetes and turn it into a blessing in disguise, and pursue dreams that you probably wouldn't have attempted prior to meeting me. Heck, you laugh at public speaking now... and I sometimes wonder what you did with the guy who was nervous to thank everyone at our rehearsal dinner.

You've stood by me as I took on charity work, help me challenge myself physically and mentally and are always there when I think that I'll never get through the day.

You continue to make me laugh, remind me that we're only given one lifetime to live and reassure me that I'll never be alone in the game of life. I have the best friend in the world standing next to me each and every day and I thank you for the love you've shown me. I love you so much and look forward to what lies ahead! :)
