Today my sweet love we celebrate 14 years happily married. Today we remember that special day in our lives when we would take and make vows to love one another, forgive one another and be there for one another always.
I want you to know how much I love you! You are always the one who is there for me regardless of anything that may be going on. You are the one who has come to know me deeper than anyone ever has. You are the one who has forgiven me for my bad days and faults and then praised me for my good days and strengths.
Together we have overcome some trials. We have seen thru the shallowness that can be seen in other relationships. We have grown together. We have seen the true love that can actually exist and the love that forms when least expected.
I love how you still look at me. I love how you still want to kiss me and hold my hand. I love how you think of me at every sweet gesture. You remember things months later that I have said I desired.
14 years seems like such a great accomplishment but when it comes so easy it seems just like yesterday.
In this short time we have made so many great things happen in our lives. Sure there a few we wished we could have done differently or done at a different time. There have been many desires to have another child but have not had that blessing but yet marvel in the great love we have for Damian.
Thru it all, we have cried together, laughed together and loved together. We hope to show what true love is and make sure Damian always seems how we can love each other.
Yes, we are very different. We have different ways of parenting and we have different interests. But just because we are different doesn't make us incompatible. It makes us appreciate the difference and then absolutely love the similarities.
Some of the simple and funny things I love about you: when I say to get 'mustard' and you bring home every possibility of mustard so you can't be wrong. When I have a drink waiting for me when I wake up after a long night of work. When you do simple things like fill my car with gas or get it washed. Everything you do is really for me and that makes me proud to have you as my husband. Other girls should be so lucky to have someone just like you!
You bring me up when I am down. You hold me when I need to cry. You support me in all that I do and then never question my responsibilities as a mother, supporter and my calling in church.
Russ, you are my one true love. My soulmate. My forever. My eternity. I will love you forever. I can't wait to grow old with you and be 'one of those couples' who can still be in love after all those years.
I LOVE YOU RUSSELL KREE TROUTMAN
and I will be yours forever
