anniversary reflections

Today I was reflecting upon our wedding day. After considering the wonder of the day, my mind went to our relationship at that point. When I married Laurel I thought that I knew her fairly well, but compared to now, we were practically strangers. That's not to say that we hadn't developed a healthy relationship; we had. Nor is it to say that there have been shocking revelations; there have not. But when I consider the depth of love and fullness of knowledge that we have of each other today, our knowledge of each other on May 26, 2006, seems exceedingly inchoate. I can only imagine and gleefully anticipate how much closer we will grow in the next year or twenty. If the coming years are anywhere near as wonderful as the first, I look forward to mind-blowing bliss.
