Seven years married - and what a love story is continues to be.
Twelve years ago, you came back into my life when I was broken—shattered, really.
Ten years ago, you gave me the miracle of life, even when I had been told that dream was no longer possible.
Nine years ago, you sold your city house and moved around the bay to start Middle Arm Charm—our healing homestead.
Eight years ago, we created another miracle.
Seven years ago, I said the biggest YES of my life—and locked you in for good.
5 years ago you supported and encouraged me to follow my dreams, aligned with our values and held my hand as I chose Passion over Pension to start my company.
2 years ago (almost)I supported encouraged and watched you start yours.
Happy Anniversary to my favourite YES yet.
Saying “I love you” feels too small for the energy we share. I feel you in every cell of my being. I’m so proud of us—of how we communicate, how we play, how we banter, and how we hold each other through it all. I’m constantly in awe of your ability to break down any wall I still have standing, and how we keep finding ways to turn our wild ideas into real life. We have started many projects in our sweet decade together but US is and will always be my favorite project.
Even when you chomp your gum like it’s your last supper—I can’t help but love you through the mild irritation.(ok not so mild irritation)
From teenage buddies to homesteading soulmates —you’re still my buddy Oates… just with a whole lot of extra benefits now.
Here we are: greenhouse, gardens, chicken coop, two little girls, homemade sourdough, fresh eggs, woodfired pizza (Gozney coming soon), a magnificent group of treasured friends and family and a wraparound porch to hold it all.
With you,
Living life completely on purpose.
Totally awake forever in love, filled with gratitude
And always ready to dream bigger, together. Here’s to it!!
