Court,
It was almost 12 years ago that I was first attracted
to you. It was not your looks that first attracted me to you, seeing as how I
only knew you from our frequent midnight games of ultimate Frisbee. I was first
attracted to your mad skills. Together we won many a game. It was purely a
bonus that later I would find out you were awesomely attractive too! However, these
thing were not what clinched it in my mind that I could spend eternity with
you. What sealed the deal was the charity and selflessness you displayed over
and over in our courtship (and your ability to put up with me). To this day you
never cease to amaze me.
Before I left for Russia to serve God and those people, I
told you that if you were still around when I got back I could marry you.
Apparently, you felt similarly because shortly after I returned we were
married. It has been an incredible 8 years. Thanks for laughing at my dumb
humor, for loving me for me, for being the terrific wife and mother that you
are, for continuing to be a great example of charity and selflessness and finally
for reminding me of the great choice I made to marry you 8 years ago.
I love you!
Shawn
