six years and counting

as most romantic relationships go, there is typically a day that gets counted as the anniversary. usually it's the first day you met, or your first date, or the first 'i love you', but tim and i didn't really work it out that way. we met the first of august 2003, (because we lived a few doors down from one another in the same apartment complex) and became friends. as we continued to get to know one another, by late october it seemed as though the relationship that neither of us was looking for was already happening. we decided that the 1st day of the month was easiest to remember, and so we started counting.

now, it's been six years, and the time has flown by. i cherish every moment that we spend together, and still miss him like crazy when we have to be apart. he is so many things to me: my best friend, my ally, my confidant, my defender, my supporter, my accomplice, my protector, my entertainer, my audience, my counselor, my critic, my cheerleader, my love, my favorite.

he is my everything, and so much more.

and i can't wait to see what the future holds for us.

happy anniversary, tim!

i love you! xoxo.
