We do not remember days, we remember moments...

That first night you put your arm around me and I laid my head on your shoulder...I knew that was where I wanted to be. In that moment I realized that I wanted to feel that way for the rest of my life. And though it would be a while before I vocally said it out loud, I knew it was where I was supposed to be.

This first year of our lives together has been a difficult one. It has been full of heartache, longing, and tears. But it has also brought happiness, strength, and a greater understanding of each other emotionally and spiritually. This experience has bonded us in a way that has sealed our fate forever.

I love you more than words could ever express. I anxiously await the day that we are united and we are able to live out our lives and begin our family. I want you to know that I will follow you to the ends of the earth, just to be with you.

I know this year is going to bring big adventures our way and I can not wait to face them together!

I am so proud of everything we have accomplished this year. I am SO proud of you for being so strong and for having unwavering faith in our Heavenly Father's plan for us.

I could not ask for a more loving husband and I could never thank you enough for being my best friend and loving me so completely.

Happy Anniversary meu amor!

Eu te amo para sempre,

Stephanie
