First off, I want to say Happy 2 Year Anniversary to the love of my life! I cannot believe it’s been 2 years already, but it feels like I’ve known Chris for forever. I have been lucky enough to find my best friend for life! I was single (dating on and off but nothing serious) for 5 years before I met Chris. I was just focusing on making money, supporting myself, and saving for the future. Any time I would meet a guy, things wouldn’t click the way they should’ve. Sure they were nice to me, treated me well, and were fun to be around… but I just didn’t feel it deep down. Something I’m happy I did was walk away right when I knew it wasn’t right. It allowed me to not invest so much time into the wrong people and work on myself as a person.
Our first date was almost 10 hours long. I had never met him in person before, but he used to work with my sister and my sister knew him and his family so I already felt comfortable. We went Thomas Hooker brewery, then to a restaurant, and then hung out in his kitchen watching funny YouTube videos and telling jokes. To this day it was the best day of my life. Since that day we moved pretty quickly. Feelings for other people quickly disappeared, we began dating just a couple of weeks later, fell in love 2 months after that, and moved in together 9 months after that!
Since that first date we have shared so many memories:
Chris has taught me SO many important life lessons. He’s thrown my insecurities out of the window. He taught me how important communication is, because I was the queen of shutting down and hiding. He has helped me become more aware of my health importance and eating habits( now I only eat pasta once a day instead of twice a day, hahaha.). He makes me the best version of myself, which I know is super corny but it’s true. He makes me want to be motivated, loving, caring, hardworking, and most importantly – me.
I want to thank you, Chris, from the bottom of my heart for being such a genuinely good person, and treating me like a woman should be treated always. I love you because you listen when I have something to say, you surprise me when I’m down, and you love showing me off to the whole world. Thank you for being such a great Dad to Oscar. Thank you for making me laugh at least twenty times a day. Thank you for starting your corny Dad jokes way before we have kids. Thank you for being patient with me and loving me through thick and thin. I’m so looking forward to our future together. We have a problem.
