Five years ago I did something crazy. I was thinking in my head, 'What are you doing?!!! There's no turning back now!' My hands were sweaty and I felt a little dizzy. At the same time I felt like I was doing the right thing. And then someone whispered in my ear, 'Don't even think about running. The bathrooms have no windows. And besides, I can catch you.' Although I knew you were joking by the smirk on your face, it made me a little nervous again. But, mostly it made me even more sure of what I was going to do.
I never thought that I would be this happy. I guess you could say I owe it all to you...if your vain enough to say so.
Five years ago Jerry and I got married. March 6, 2003 was the exact date. To me it was just Thursday. Not that it wasn't special but, we decided to get married so quick we just decided, "Hey! Let's forget all this planning and get married on Thursday." We didn't even tell my father until...gulp, that Sunday. Boy was he surprised! ( I didn't say happy, I said surprised. LOL! Don't worry the entire family loves him now.) Through the years it has been proven true I made one of the best choices back then, than I've made in all my life. I really, truly have married my best friend.
Jerry. You are there to listen to me, to talk to me, to keep me motivated and much, much more. Thank you for all you do. I truly feel appreciated and loved more that I've ever imagined. You still end every phone call with 'I love you' to me. You still buy me flowers at the spur of the moment and you still make my heart skip a beat when I see you. You even made this anniversary feel special when our plans were changed. I couldn't imagine being any happier with any one else. I love you and I love OUR family!

Erika,
To say that it is just 5 years of marriage would be an understatement. Yes, in years that is true, but I feel that we've connected in such a way that on one hand we're still newlyweds and on the other hand we've been as one for so much longer. I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is being married to you. You have given me SO much. Before you, my self confidence was mainly linked to my running. When I met you, even that was in decline. You have empowered me, believed in me, supported me, relied on me, trusted in me, you have been the part of me that I never really knew I was missing or even needed, and the things that you've given me have really helped to make me a more complete person.
Together, we're inseperable and unstoppable. We've got each other's backs (and a whole lot more ;-) I truly feel that with you there is nothing that we can't do! And even the impossible just seems like improbable because we haven't tried yet.
We started at three five years ago, and here we are five at five!
I love you more than I, or possibly even words, can express. I look forward to SO many more!!!
Jerry
