Today we had lunch at one of the first places we ever went together, and it brought back a lot of memories. I remember the first time we were there, for dinner, and he stared at me so intensely I couldn’t even look him in the eye. I remember how fast my heart was beating, and the butterflies in my stomach. I think I knew, even then, that he was going to change my life forever. And he certainly has.

It’s crazy how much has changed since then. We have been through so much together in the last four years. A lot of good, some bad. Some really bad. But we are still together, better than ever, and about to buy a house together to turn into a home for our little blended family.

It’s everything I’ve always wanted. I’m so very happy.
