Dear Chris,
Six years. Can you believe it? Six years today we were exchanging vows and promising to love each other forever. Marrying you was the best thing I ever did. I was merely a girl when you married me, but I hope that I haven’t disappointed you. I want to be a good wife. I know I’m not everything you may have wanted in a wife, but I promise you that no one could ever love you more than I do.
It’s hard to believe that I have been with you since I was sixteen years old.There are so many memories that come flooding back when I think of the years we have spent together.
Do you remember that time that we were out fishing in your boat and it was so hot that we decided to jump in the river. We jumped in clothes and all. We were climbing up on that rusty old piling and jumping off. It was so fun.
And do you remember our first kiss? Sitting under the stars on the tailgate of your truck in my parents yard. I wasn’t expecting it, and you caught me by surprise.
Do you remember how we used to drive around in your truck forever. We would just drive and drive with no destination. Just talking about our future and how things would be when we were married.
Do you remember how you kept rubbing my forehead with your fingers when they delivered Kyra. You were so worried, and I remember how comforting it was to look over and see your eyes over your surgical mask. You’ve always been there for me. Right by my side.
I’ll never forget how you got teary-eyed during the ultrasound when we found out Elijah was a boy. You were so happy and so proud.
Do you remember how I looked walking down the aisle six years ago? I remember seeing you at the front of the church. You looked so handsome in your tux, and I remember the tears in your eyes. I was so happy and so proud that day, and I was so relieved that the day had finally came. It seemed like we had to wait so long.
Remember how no one thought we would last. With every anniversary that rolls around, I want to stick my tongue out at everyone. What did they know. Nothing. They knew nothing about us and what we have together.
It has all went by so fast. I have loved it all. Every moment was precious, even if I didn’t know it at the time. I look forward to the rest of our lives together, and can’t wait to make many more memories with you and our family.

I love you, Honey.
Rachel
