PS. Here is my favorite deployment poem. Another little anniversary love note.
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Yay for 18 years!!!

I love you both! Happy Anniversary!
Also, that poem is very sweet. I love it.
One more note: I also agree with everyone about the last picture - woowee! smashing!
