Happy Anniversary (to me!)

Some people never meet their soul mates. But I did. And I had the amazing good fortune to marry him 11 years ago today. Happy anniversary, my love! My life is rich because you are in it.

A friend read this poem at our wedding. It's one of our favorites. :)

The Road Not Taken


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

-Robert Frost

Have a great weekend, everyone!
