Two days ago Daniel's little sister, Hana, got engaged to her longtime sweetheart, Benji. That night, they came over to our apartment to announce the news we all knew was inevitable. As they were recounting the story and showing us the beautiful ring, I couldn't help but let my mind wander. It was taken back four years to the night when Daniel and I had gotten engaged. As Hana couldn't help smiling, I remember that I too, was all smiles as I knew that I was going to marry the most wonderful man. A cell phone ring brought my thoughts back to the present and I saw Daniel sitting there talking with his future brother-in-law. I saw a man who is smart and capable and who loves me with all of his heart, and more if he could. My eyes shifted back to the happy engaged couple and as I saw them snuggle and looking into each other's eyes with anticipated excitement, I knew that the love between Daniel and I had grown.
As I look at our Maya or as I feel the comfort of just being near Daniel I know that our love has matured. We have grown together as we faced both the good times and the bad, we've grown closer and more aware of each other and we have fallen even deeper in love with each other's better self. You see, we were once like Hana and Benji, excited and feeling like we could never love this person more than now. But, because of a miracle, we love each other even more, and I know that that love will grow even more, and I thank God over and over for that.
Happy Anniversary Daniel!
and Congratulations Hana and Benji! I hope that you will find as much love and fulfillment as we have found in being together!

Wow, Marquita! 4 years already. Happy Anniversary!
--It does seem to fly by, doesn't it...I mean, it almost seems like Andrew and I have been together forever already. Being married is more normal than being single already, which is kinda strange since I have been married for only a year and a half, but single for like 20!
Congrats on 4 years, that's amazing how time just goes on. You guys are amazing examples to matt and I.
Happy Anniversary to you guys! Casey and I have often talked about the same thing - how our love has deepened so much over the past four years. We knew we loved each other when we got married, but our love has expanded a million times since then!
