happy anniversary

five years ago today, taher and i exchanged three little words. three years ago yesterday, we got married.

at times i feel startled that time has flown so quickly. other times, i think about how much we've both grown and think such changes could only have taken place over a long period of time...

it's nice to take stock and realize that we have been paying attention to what the other says, and what we have to show for it is a relationship that is exponentially better than what it was in the beginning. and don't get me wrong; in the beginning i thought it was pretty nice already.

before we got married, i thought that the only thing we would have to master would be the art of compromise. turns out it's more like the art of communication-balancing priorities-mind reading-being patient-letting loose-genuinely listening-fighting nicely-etc. in the midst of learning all of this, i find myself very, very happy.

so taher, happy anniversary :)
