2 years.

Hey Boo,

Guess what? Happy 2-year Anniversary, that's what.

Can you believe it? Two years. Doesn't it sometimes seem like a lifetime though? It definitely feels like many moons have passed since I first met you on that rooftop bar...Which, btw, I'm really glad someone took a photo of us. I don't remember who, as I don't really remember much from that day, but I'm just glad it exists.

I look at those two young-ins and I just can't believe how much my life has changed for the better since that day. Really, it has.

I'm truly blown away by everything that's happened in my life since meeting you. I mean, we freaking ran a marathon. A marathon! Me, this person that has never in her life been a runner. But because you were there, every run of the way, it somehow pushed me to do something I never thought was possible for me. So thank you for that. (Oh, btw, remember how I mentioned the other day that I wanted us to start training for that half marathon....yeeeaaaah....maybe not? ;) )

For the longest time, even before I met you, I had this huge urge to drop everything and travel. Before I even fathomed it could actually be a possibility, the idea of travel was still on my mind a lot. In fact, I wrote about it here and here. And then, my sweet man, you came along and opened my eyes to amazing possibilities! With your support, we were able to do something so amazing. Something that I will never forget in all of my days. You helped me fulfill my dream and I'm still reveling in it! We quit our jobs, we sold everything we had, we stopped the excuses and we made it happen. We saw 9 different countries in 6 months. We spent each day growing closer and learning more about each other and the world. We did something that I know I wouldn't have done were it not for you. So again, thank you for that.

I'm not sure exactly what I believe in regards to that whole "Fate" word. But I will say that I am so incredibly thankful I met you two years ago on that rooftop, that one Summer day, two wonderful years ago. That one bar that you said you hardly ever went to. The place that was extra crowded, but you somehow spotted me. Yeah... I think that's pretty neat. :)

And now look at us! We have our very first apartment together in San Francisco! We're a team and we're making it happen, just like we always say. And goodness gracious, I'm so glad I get to have you as my teammate. I think we've got even more great times ahead of us.

Happy Anniversary, baby. You're my favorite and partner in crime, and I certainly wouldn't have it any other way.

Now excuse me while I go find a tissue.

xoxo

Love,
Me
