The Best Four
August 24th, 2006
I know it’s cliche and whatever. But the years with Heather have been the best of my life. I feel like I’ve been shaken and put back on track. It’s pretty rare that one gets a second chance in life and rarer still that one can do so without major concessions.
Say we could create what we thought would be our perfect partner. My partner creation would fall short of Heather in so many ways. I’ve been surprised, warmed and loved like never before in my life. I’m the luckiest man in the world. I don’t really care if that sounds trite or cheesy, because at the end of the day, when the house is quiet, I look across the pillows at her face and see the future. I felt that way five years ago and it has only grown since.
When she rests her head against my chest and I put my arms around her, I’m home.
Happy Fourth, Baby! o
Congratulations and Happy Aniversary to both of you!
Well said, Jon, and Happy Anniversary to you both. That must be a great feeling – I’ve got 5 yrs on you (in age), was married for 10, and I’m still looking for it.
That is just the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard.
Sheesh, I read her ode to you and then yours to her, but I was already gone by the time I read hers…so realistically romantic.
Best to both of you for years to come
Aaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww.
You just said what every woman, dreams that her husband/future husband will say about her.
Happy Anniversary, Jon & Heather. Sounds like a rock-solid relationship to me.
Happy anniversary! May you look back on this day from your fortieth anniversary and toast each other. The traditional gift for the fourth anniversary is fruit and flowers.
Happy Anniversary, Armstrongs! I hope there will still be Blurbodoocery and we’ll all be wishing you guys yet another happy one 40 years from now.
The 4 year anniversary is the Clog Anniversary, isn’t it? I’m just saying.
The Blurbodoocery is 4 years old! Happy Happy Joy Joy!
The internet thanks you for sharing every step of the way. Really. So many good times.
You guys are two of the best people, I’ve never met.

Congratulations. Thank you both for sharing your ups, your downs, your intelligence and your wit. Here’s to many, many more wonderful years together for the two of you.
Happy Anniversary, Jon & Heather!
Happy aniversary!
Oh shut up you big romantic sweet turd. After 11 years even imagining my husband saying something like that just makes me want to cry. I’m just happy when he isn’t either snoring or yelling. You are both so blessed to have each other.
How beautiful, thanks for putting this out there to let people know that not all marriages are bad.
You guys are seriously a great couple. Dereck and I are thinking of you– so so sorry you’ve been so sick!
Running a fever seems to agree with you, Jon. A wonderful loving post for your dear wife. She should so not hold a grudge over your not buying her an anniversary present, forever. I’m glad you are so happy.
Congrats and much happiness to the both of you.
oh wow… that sure went quick
happy anniversary, you gorgeous pair!
Congrats both! My parents anniversary today (yesterday) too!
happy anniversary, you two. and get well soon, jon!
Happy Four! Get a sitter and celebrate!
It is awesome to see two people so unabashedly fond of each other, and what huevos you have to share all this on the internet. Of course the fact that in doing so, you are able to stay home together must make it not suck.
Congratulations on four awesome hard-earned years. I’m sure I speak for many in saying that even though you don’t know me, I feel as though I know y’all!
Cheers!
I’m all misty and I’m in grave danger of ruining my makeup!
Just days before my 4th anniversary, my husband gave me the gift of “I’m leaving you to marry my girlfriend.” That was almost 3 years ago, and I’m thankful for the hope that your marriage offers to the rest of us.
Happy Anniversary!
FÈlicitations!
Congratulations. Happy 4th Anniversary. You’ve been through so much in these 4 short years that many couples don’t experience in 20. What doesn’t break you makes you stronger.
Keep on rockin’
