Let me first start out by saying how truly, madly, and deeply in love I am with you. I remember the first time we met I knew then you were special. I know this saying is used a lot but you really have a smile that lights up the whole room, honestly. I remember every time I seen you I tried to do the whole "high school" show off thing, whether it was doing back flips at Nicole's or trying to tell the best jokes so you would laugh at them, I just wanted to be with you. We gave it a try and you shut me down, was a little mad about it but kept on trucking, then we gave it a second try, thought it was going good until out of nowhere you stopped calling me, literally, that's when I actually started hating you, literally! But you know what they say, "third times a charm," and you called me out of the blue a few months later to go to the movies and the rest is history.
9 YEARS!!! Its just insane to think we've been together that long, its over a third of my life! High school sweethearts! Can you believe when we started dating you had only Josh & Kelsey as nephew and niece, and now you have Madeline, Ella, Quinn, Myles, and Eli! (I'm sure there is more on the way) My brother was 10 years old, jesus, and my sister was only 14, now Anthony is 19 and going to college and Stephanie is 23 and out of college and working! Neither us or our friends had intentions of getting married, buying a house, and having kids, now we have at least a few good friends married and a couple of them having a kid in a few months. Crazy!
Time is just flying by way to fast and you know how much I hate that. I'll tell you this though, if its going to continue at this rate I want to spend it with you. I remember being asked my someone back in high school or early college how I knew I was in love and at the time I really didn't have a great answer but I would say the biggest thing now is that it honestly feels like I've been dating you no longer than a year. That I still have that feeling of puppy love after all these years. That when we laugh and joke around I feel like we're 17 again. That I'm still not contempt with just being with you that I want to go above and beyond the call to show you how much I love you still and want to make you the happiest girl in the world. That's love!
I want to say more but its getting too long already. I'll end it with this, you mean so much more than the world to me. I'm so happy that we are getting married this year and that I get to call you mine for the rest of my life. I know you're going to be a great wife and I hope to be just as great of a husband. For as long as we've been together I know its just the beginning to all the great things we are going to do in the future. Again, I cant say it enough but I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! Happy 9 year anniversary!
