mushy, gushy and mine.

They say weddings are wonderful because you remember how much in love you were at your own. You remember how you looked at the one you chose to share the rest of your life with from this day forward. You remember the love you felt being surrounded by all the people you love. It's all true and I love weddings for these reasons and more.

But the one thing that really got me this weekend was this; I don't need a wedding to remind me of how much I love my husband. Sure I thought about our special day, but it's nothing compared to the days that we have had from that point on. We have been through so many adventures together -some were wonderful, others heartbreaking and even a few that were a little scary. We've been there to cheer each other on in our successes or at least our attempts at success. We've held one another in the darkest of times and cried when the other was hurting. We've grown, changed and learned to fall in love with one another over and over again.

I still get giddy when Jason reaches out to hold my hand - which is all the time. I love that we hold hands everywhere, even when we're watching TV or driving in the car. I love that we don't need a reason to kiss one another - the only reason is that the other is in reaching distance.

I love the goose bumps that race down my arms when we wraps his arms around me. I love looking over to find him staring at me with a silly little grin on his face. I love when he catches me doing the same thing when I don't even realize I'm doing it. I love how we still find each other irresistible even after almost 14 years.

We've shared our dreams with one another, and have watched many of those same dreams become realities. We have three amazing children, which have showered us ten-full with the love we already shared together. They have brought us so many new adventures, and a whole new set of dreams to share as parents.

Yes, weddings are wonderful. They fill you up with love, but mostly they fill your heart with happiness and hope. You are happy to be part of something as wonderful as the start of something so beautiful, and you hope they will enjoy it to the fullest. Being with that one person is so gratifying. Yes, there are days you want to throw something large and solid at their head, but mostly you just want to be near them. Love is a wonderful adventure! It's makes you completely mushy, gushy, and crazy - and if you're lucky you find it. Lucky me.
