I love the feeling of having step up to "that" level. It's something that you can be so proud of when people ask you how many months you've been together. You can just tell them to their faces, "ONE YEAR!" Haha! Pathetic I know, when I know a friend who is celebrating 11 years together today and will also be married next year! :)

Love just grows on you. The fact that I'm in love with love doesn't over power that I'm in love with J. Right now, hitting this important time in our relationship, there are just so many things that I am very thankful for. For starters, I'm thankful that I've met J at 24 and not when we were 14. I don't think our relationship would have worked if we started it when we didn't have any life experiences yet and we're still immature. I'm thankful for all the heartaches that I've felt because if I didn't have those I'm sure I won't know how to put importance on the relationship that I have right now. I'm thankful that J became a part of my life. :)



To my J,

More than a year ago, we started opening ourselves to each other not knowing what was ahead of us. What began as an innocent friendship developed into something deeper. When I started missing you, I knew I was falling for you. It was a scary step to admit that after almost three years, I was ready to let someone in and become a big part of my life. It was hard to say NO when you asked me to be your girlfriend. It was hard to say NO when you asked my hand in marriage. For now and always, it will be hard to say NO to you. So don't ask anymore, because I'm willing to be your wife, the mother of your children, the person who'd be there for you until your goatee has gray hair already. Happy anniversary and I love you so much!

Forever and ever,
Karen
