Are We There Yet? Happy Anniversary

Dear The Husband,
Since you read here now, I figure it's only fitting to acknowledge/mention/recognize our anniversary for you to see, too. Nevermind that I'm late in doing it. After being with me for 4+ years, and married to me for 2 full years now, you should realize that I tend to be late with everything...how else would we already have 2 kids?! Moving right along....
Our marriage has not been the easiest thing in the world, by any means. But I also know that we could have it a lot harder. I know I'm not the greatest wife you could have, and I must say that I thank God every day that you keep putting up with my crap. But it's a two-way street, and I think we both know what that means, huh?
We've been through a whole lot together - the least of which being the 7,000 miles between us for the majority of our first married year. Gotta love the Army and their *wonderful* timing, y'know? Although, I must say, letting you come home for 2 weeks was nice. Gave us an opportunity for a familymoon, and proved great for growing our little family even more! I will say this, though. If we weather another deployment together and I come to pick you up with the kids in tow, you better not have bonded with the boys in such a way that they give me shit for "letting this fucker reproduce, twice even" because my reaction may end your military career.
While I'm sure I could continue on about the chaos that was our first year of wedded bliss.... Yea, I'm just gonna stop there and say that it was its own special level of hell, and could only have been made worse by you being home, expecting me to cook food you could really eat.
Having rounded out year 2 and moving steadily into year 3, I feel the need to say that it would seem we've accomplished something, staying together this long without separating and/or filing for divorce even once. Especially when you think that there were so many of the girls I went to school with in the same boat, and now they're working out the final details of their divorces.
Nothing stands out more to me, than the day you looked me straight in the eye and said, "You're different...I've never stayed truly interested for this long, and you're just exciting and new every single day." (Having spoken to some of your old flames, and knowing that to be rather accurate, I now look back and consider that a huge compliment. Especially from you and your refusal to put things in words for me to better understand you.)
I know things are difficult right now. And I'm pretty certain they're gonna get a little bit more so before they can get better. But I'm looking forward to the challenge. I'm excited to see what we figure out to solve these big things. You and me against the world, forever.

I love you as big as the sky. Happy Anniversary, Chicken Nugget.
