Today is our 12th wedding anniversary. This was printed on something or other at our wedding. It’s been a while since I posted this, but I still love it even after all these years.

Do you know,
I would quietly slip
from the loud circle,
When first I know
the pale stars are blooming.

Ways will I elect
that seldom any tread,
In the pale ev’ning meadows.
And no dream but this:
You come too.

–Rainier Maria Rilke

Thanks for all the good years, Amy. I love being a parent with you, and even happier to be able to spend my life with you. Happy anniversary!
