DEAREST RICK,
I AM SO BLESSED THAT YOU HAVE ALWAYS HAD FAITH IN ME AND STOOD BY ME EVEN IN OUR TOUGHEST STRUGGLES. I LOVE YOU DEARLY AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE, DEDICATION AND EVERLASTING LOVE. THESE YEARS HAVE BEEN SO WONDERFUL TO US AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE MANY MANY MORE THAT LAY AHEAD. THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY WE HAVE CREATED IS SIMPLY THE BEST BLESSING GOD HAS GIVEN US.

DEAREST JAMIE,
10 YEARS SOUNDS LIKE A LONG TIME, BUT IN HIND SIGHT IT HAS FLOWN BY. IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN TO LAS VEGAS WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, LOVING AND CARING GIRL I COULD HOPE TO MEET. LIFE TOGETHER HAS BEEN NO BED OF ROSES BUT ALL THE THORNS HAVE MADE US CLOSER THAN I EVER THOUGHT I COULD EVER BE TO ANOTHER PERSON. I STILL SEE THE YOUNG GIRL I MARRIED AND YET I REALIZE THAT THERE IS A WISDOM OF EXPERIENCE THERE THAT I HAVE COME TO RELY ON AS A CRUTCH WHEN I AM IN NEED OF HELP OR GUIDANCE. THE NEXT 10 YEARS BETTER WATCH OUT BECAUSE WE ARE ON A ROLL. ALWAYS AND FOREVER IS OUR MOTTO AND WE ARE LIVING IT. I LOVE YOU JAMIE,YOUR FOREVER HUSBAND RICK!
