I'm currently sitting in your cubicle with you, watching you work while our baby sleeps in the stroller next to us. It's sad to think that we just shared lunch at Pixar for what could possibly be the last time, but I'm overflowing with pride. Our second year of marriage has brought a lot of change and you have handled it like a champion. We finished school, got jobs, moved to a different state, changed jobs, and had a baby. It was almost as if life handed us a bunch of major life events this year and said "Here ya go!" There was a lot of uncertainty, incredible joy, adventure, and growth. But most of all, there was a lot of love.
There have been so many moments this past year when I thought my heart wouldn't be able to handle all of the love I was feeling, but somehow it did. Your reaction when you read that you were going to become a daddy, you surprising me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers after my graduation and seeing the pride on your face, seeing the majestic Glymur waterfall together, having your help through every painful contraction, watching Emi recognize your voice just moments after she was born when you sang to her, and seeing the way you work so hard to provide for our family...these are the moments. The moments that remind me of why I married you and the love that we share. It's been a big year for our family and I know we could not have done it without each other. Thank you for always loving me, Chris. Love you more than you'll ever know.
Love,
Your wife
