Pic(s) of the Week - Anniversary Special

Well, today is not just any ordinary day, so I can't abide by the ordinary Pic of the Week structure.  Today is Gina and my 5 year anniversary.  So in honor of that, here's a photo journal of words I've come to understand during the past 5 years.

Wonder:
How  it is that a woman this incredible would say "yes" to a schlub like me.

Comfort:
I'm where I'm supposed to be, no matter where I find myself, as long as I find myself with her by my side.

Hero:
in our darkest hour we each found the hero we needed in the other.

Serendipity:
sometimes the best things in life are the least expected.

Beauty:
it's not about the skin or the hair or the bones. ... it's about the soul that is able to shine through all that.

Home:
didn't know what one was supposed to feel like until you.

Strength:
I can benchpress a lot, I can run far. ... I can never do what you can do.


Love:
a four letter word I finally understand the true power of.

Pride:
bad in one's self, impossible to avoid in one's children.

Growth:
we are a garden, we grow together and we blossom together.

Humor:
if you laugh alone you're crazy, that's why it's important to have someone else to laugh with.

Dance:
the bodies reaction to an overwhelming build up of joy

Accomplishment:
We're in it together; in all things.  We start together, we finish together.

Suprises:
the unexpected can turn out to be brilliant.

Family:
A mans identity when he realizes how insignificant he is alone.

Gina, you've given me everything I've ever wanted, more than I've ever deserved and nothing that I will ever take for granted.  The girls are my heartbeat, and you are my soul.
Happy Anniversary, my love.
