1. Tyler, I love you. 08-06-13
It is hard to believe that we have been together, officially today, for a year and a half.
Although at times it feels like so much longer time sure does fly. I will always remember
the first time I saw you, playing pool, and my first thought was "wow, he's
hott"..sharing this thought with Clayton, he says, 'That's Tyler. The guy I hung out with
the other night." It was only a night or so later, you came to Brandon's to hang out and
from that night we have been inseparable. I still get those butterflies that I got the first
night i ever saw you, before I even knew your name. We have had our ups and
down, with so many more ups then anything. You have showed me it is possible to rely
on other people and be completely open, no matter what it is entailing. You are my
rock. You made it possible for me to be one of those lucky people who falls in love with
their best friend. You are everything to me. You have made me a stronger person and
showed me that it is okay to stick up for yourself. Yes we are young, yes don't have as
much life experience as our parents, but we have learned that we can make it through
anything and will always have each other's back. Not only is it our year and a half, but
we are getting ready to move into our second place together. Year two under the same
roof. I have never been more excited to start a new journey and i am so glad to have
you along side me. There is no better feeling then going to bed beside you and waking
up next to you. You are perfect for me, no matter what random others may say. We
know what we have and that's all that matters. You are my best friend and the one who
has my heart, forever & always. I love you more then you know Tyler. Thank you for
being my fishy <3 Here's to many more months and years together! xoxoxoxo.
