One year

[savvyliterate]

Another wow. It's been a year since I almost, but not quite cried and laughed my way through my marriage ceremony. OK, it depends on who you talk with regarding the crying part. ^_~

I realize that it's not the lifestyle that everyone would choose. But, it has worked for me. What I wrote six months ago is still true now. I know that Mike truly loves me. He's braved chatrooms of rabid Apple fanboys just to support my work and spent four days locked in a car with me and three cats as we moved across the country. That's the equivalent of walking through fire, you know. I love him just as much.

I think, though, I'll let Eve and Roarke sum up what I'm feeling. This is from Strangers in Death.

"Then I saw you knifing through the water. All wet and ripply and ... you." She tilted her head back to look at him. "I saw you, and that's all it took. Sometimes I can't breathe, I love you so much."

"Eve." Emotion deepened his eyes as he kissed her very sweetly, then he just rested his brow against hers.

"I keep thinking, well, this'll settle down. It's bound to level off and settle down. But it doesn't. Even when things are just going smooth and we're just ... living, I can look at you, and I've got no breath left."

"Every minute with you, I'm alive. I never knew before there were pieces of me unborn, just waiting for you. I'm alive with you Eve."

She sighed, touched his cheek. "We'd better get out of there. We're getting mush all over the pool."

And now I'm done getting mush all over your LiveJournals. Happy anniversary, gigabahamut666. I love you very much.
