19 years married today. ❤️
This summer, we’ve been beautifully lost in our garden, and somehow it feels like the perfect reflection of the life TJ and I have spent all these years building together.
We have planted things without knowing exactly how they would grow. We’ve learned as we went. Changed plans. Dug things up and started again. Weathered storms. Celebrated every new bloom. Worked until we were filthy and exhausted, then stood back together and marveled at what our own hands had made.
That is marriage, really.
TJ is my best friend, my teammate, my safe place, and the person I want beside me for every version of this life. We build well together, not because everything is always easy, but because whatever comes, we keep choosing the same side. Ours.
Nineteen years married, twenty-six years of loving each other, and I still find so much joy in simply doing life with him.
What a beautiful thing it is to grow a life, a garden, and ourselves alongside the person you love most.
Happy Anniversary, my sweetheart. I’d choose you in every season. ❤️
Xo,
Marisa
