I promise.

(9:56:17 PM): I promise: to never take myself too seriously, to never give up on you, even when you give up on yourself. to forgive (I'm allowed to be mad for a bit, but I promise to forgive.) I promise to be faithful to you. My body, my heart, my soul, are yours, as they were always meant to be - and shall remain that way until the day the first dies, the second stops beating, and the last goes on to wait for you to join me...or to join you for all eternity. I am yours, and yours alone - every inch. I promise myself to you. I promise to do my best to become the mother of your children, and once I am, to be the best mother to them I can be. I promise to be the best wife and lover I can to you, and to spoil you rotten for the rest of your life. I promise to make you smile. I promise I'll yell too loudly at Packer games, and I promise to wear naughty things in the bedroom. I promise to try to entice you for the rest of my life. I promise I'll never get over you. I promise to wait for you, even when my patience runs out and my desperation for you grows. I will wait. I won't like it, but I will wait. I promise to be here when you return...whenever that may be. Just please don't abuse that. I promise to you: my love, my fidelity, my patience, and my future. Wherever we decide to wander in our lives, I promise we'll wander together. I love you - I promise you that. I just needed to say that. I needed to tell you. I promise to jump on the bed with you, to stop and cherish the little things. I promise to dance with you on Christmas morning and decorate the house together. I promise to make memories WITH you, not FOR you. I promise to always try to better myself - for me, for you, and for our children. I promise to utterly bewilder you. I promise to make you fall in love with me over and over again...well, I'll try my best on that one. I promise to surprise you. I promise to listen to you - though you may need to take away shiny things at times. I promise to do my very best to communicate to you what I need and want and feel. I promise to not cut you out of my life, or leave you out in the cold. I promise you're going to cry at our wedding - I will, too. I promise to push you when you need it, walk with you when you need it, and be the safe place for you to land when you need that, too. I promise you adventure, laughter, and love. I promise you me.
