Happy Anniversary to my Fiancee, Julie Noelle

One year has passed since I first met my the love of my life, Julie. I remember the first time I saw her. She caught my eye, but at first, I wasn't compelled to approach her. Then I saw her a few more times and I couldn't resist. The way she held her head and had her hair pulled back was enough to compel me to make my move. She shocked me because her spirit was so full of life and I was instantly attracted to that. Her voice is so lady-like and her eyes are the prettiest shade of green you have ever seen. I am 38 and she is 41 and there has been more than our fair share of tumult in our relationship, but I truly love her and I am glad that I met her.

Now she says I am possessive and while she is always trying to uplift me, however sometimes, she can do the counter-intuitive and put-down. Between you and me, I must admit that I have trust issues and I basically refuse to open all the way up because everytime I've been remotely tempted to do so, I have been burned. I am afraid that if I open all the way up and give her my heart, she will crush it.

So what I will do is enjoy her each day, love her, adore her, cherish her and do my best to lift her up, support her, provide for her and make her happy.

Happy Anniversary, Julie. I love you.
