Goodness...

I can't believe we are less than a month away from being together for a full year. I have no idea where the time went. It just doesn't seem real. Every moment we've had together has just been complete bliss. There have been some days where we had challenges to face, but we supported each other through our hardships and have only grown closer.

Every time I look into her eyes, I see so much more than the beauty in front of me. I see a life together. I see many more years to come. I see all the great things that could be, and I want it! I want it so badly! It's weird that our entire relationship has been in the running-through-a-field-of-flowers-in-slow-motion mode for so long, now.

I am afraid of screwing things up, but I will not let that get in my way. I love her more than anything else in this world. I want to continue to love her for as long as I live, and I see a very great possibility of that with how things are. I want to create so many wonderful memories with her.

Every time I'm with her, I'm so relaxed. So free. And every time I'm not with her, I think on all the wonderful things we will do the next time I see her. Whether it's laying around watching Doctor Who, getting 14-year-olds eaten by a T-Rex, making plastic cup music, or randomly going out at 10 in the evening to get a cake ('cause why not), every moment is the best moment ever.

I love her so much, I can't even fathom how I've lived so long without her.

I love you, Gretchen.
