On Sunday I will have been married to Ian Ingram for seven years. My husband looks carefully at the world and at himself, consistently finding beauty in the imperfections. He has a commitment to and an appreciation for the real. Seven years in, I realize what a gift it is to find those extraordinary qualities in a partner / true love. That guy I married - he really knocks me out.
I revisit our vows every anniversary and so I'll share them here again.
