Over their four year marriage, they've care-packaged, surprise-visited, texted, messaged, wrote, missed, cried, become extra creative, dreamed, reenforced and remained. In 2010 they were able to fit in a candy, colored, cheerful "wedding" ceremony and reception. Their friends and family smiled, and the sun made the day oh-so bright. Before long, he was gone again. But they worked to keep their love and hearts young, smiling and, yes, bright!

And here there are, with resilient affection and grateful closeness. David is officially a civilian. They celebrated their anniversary together. They painted ceramics, side by side. (Hilarious ceramics at that: a garden gnome and Harry Potter coffee mug. Cute nerd alert!) You can see it in their eyes.

The last four years have been beautifully long, and worth the sacrifices. They are still, and calm. Resting and united. Still full of candyland spunk, with a seal of faithfulness and maturity.

Happy Four Years. I'm thrilled you are in person, under the same roof, celebrating together. Well done, both of you. Soak this up.
