Another year in the making: Happy Anniversary

It was 8 years ago today I said “Yes, I will be your girlfriend.” 

It was 7 years ago he visited me in Davis for what-felt-like 2 short weeks.

It was 6 years ago we set some time apart after then-irreconcilable differences.

It was 5 years ago we realized how much we still cared for each other.

It was 4 years ago when we worked hard at attaining our degrees and working hard to also make US work.

It was 3 years ago we set out for our careers, made extra bucks to satisfy our routine eating spots and movie habits, and understand how much responsibility it will was to juggle so many things at once.

It was 2 years ago when I realized that when he was crazy enough to break his clavicle, I still came over to help him get back on his feet. Even if it meant combing his then-longer-than-my-hair hair. 

It was 1 year ago when we really considered venturing out into real estate or business ventures together. 

And it is at this moment when I think about the past 8 years that have gone by and how much we’ve grown, both together and apart, and especially what we’ve learned about each other. That though I would love to always hear the words, “I love you,” I always appreciate the unspoken love he always shows, through his actions and intentions. 

To say it simply, Happy 8 year anniversary, hun! I love you :P (Holy crapola that’s a long time).
