Happy 8th Anniversary Babe!

Today is my 8th year anniversary with my beautiful and loving wife Rina Lasi Peters Toketa! When I was 19, eight years ago today I said "I do" to my best friend. It's crazy cause we were sooooo young, and I'm sure that a lot of people didn't give us a chance to last very long, but here we are 8 years later! I just want to take this moment to thank you babe for all that you do for me and all that you are to me. I could not imagine not having you in my life. Thank you so much for giving me 3 beautiful kids and being such a wonderful mother to them. I love you so much! I can't wait to share the rest of eternity with you.

I wrote this poem for you I hope you like it.

Here we are. Eight years in, and I love you more than the day I married you.

We’re still winning in a game that we came into as the underdog.

In a time that the adversary so easily re-writes the story from “happily ever after” to “another broken family”

But still, here we are.          

At times our journey together has been rocky, and we can’t help but struggle along.

We’ve endured through those times of pain, sorrow, and loss.

But the love we share still remains so strong.

And here we are.

Thank you so much for all that you are to me, a beautiful wife, best friend, and loving mother.

You and our children are my purpose, my life, my very heart beat.

I hope to make the next eight years, even the rest of our lives better than what we’ve had so far.

Eight years has gone by so fast, but I’m blessed to have eternity to look forward to.

And here we are. 

I love you babe!

Happy Anniversary!!!!
