Alexandria and I were married on December 28, 2002. As we come up to our eight year wedding anniversary I wanted to make sure my gorgeous wife knows how much I love her. Someone once told me that a key to a women's heart is an unexpected gift at an unexpected time -- Hijacking the blog seemed like the best place for that effect...
Alexandria,
I love you. Thanks for all that you do every day in every way to make me the luckiest man on the face of the earth. Looking forward to more adventures and thrills along this road of life with you in the decades to come. You will always be the bright, shining "star to this wandering bark".
Happy Anniversary!
Love,
Jared

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
