i don’t have a choice, but i’d still choose you.

I tried to narrow it down to eleven images, but I just couldn’t do it.
Happy 11th Anniversary to my favorite. Every year is the best with you.

Just case you aren’t Facebook friends with my sweet husband, this was his status this morning:

I admit. I have a secret smile. Eleven years ago today we said “I do” and I had a secret smile. I smiled because I knew she was the one for me. The one that would make me happy and the one that I could make happy. I smiled because she was fun. I smiled because she was true. I smiled because she knew me. We started our lives together and we laughed and we cried. And I smiled because no matter what we went through, she was there and that’s all I needed. We had children together and I smiled. I smiled because of the mother I knew she’d be. I smiled because of the miracle that we’d made. I smiled because she was happy. We had fun together. I smiled because I like her. I smiled because she likes me. After eleven years together, I still smile. I smile a lot. So my smile may not be so secret. The whole world may know about my smile and that’s alright. I’m proud of the reason I smile. And my smile may not even be my own. My smile may belong to her. And that’s OK too, because she is the reason I smile. Happy anniversary, Kristin Fields. I love you.
