10 years of me and you.

It has been 10 years since Matt asked me to be his girlfriend. Yes, we are that annoying couple that continues to celebrate how long we've been together.

Then when I look back, I see this...

My wonderful prom date to Senior prom 2006.

My wonderful guy that embraced my love of ocean, even if it meant driving 3 hours to stay for 2. 

Exploring new places and making memories. 

I recall the days of dancing and staying up all night. 

Keeping our traditions alive no matter how silly or expensive they maybe. 

To the days of the good ol Academy.. where I could only keep you as long as our visits would allow

I remember how I felt when you asked me to be your wife. 

The anticipation that the year of being engaged would bring. 

And the tears of happiness that I couldn't believe all my dreams were finally coming true. 

I remember the times happiness fled my mind all at once

I recall the days of being apart, which only meant the sweetest hellos. 

The pride I feel to be apart of your success.

And the thankfulness for you being there for mine. 

The changing of chapters to new places with loads of uncertainty. 

Being sure that new chapters are apart of our beautiful journey 

Over the years i've seen you as a prom date, boyfriend, fiance, husband, and now the future father of our little girl. I couldn't have picked a better person to be the father my child. She will have so many amazing times with you and will learn so many things. I can't wait for her to grow up to know the incredible person I've had the pleasure of sharing my life with over the past decade. I love you more and more everyday, I couldn't be more happy than I am today.  Meeting you so early in life was one of God's most wonderful gifts to me.

Thank you for being you, crazy, amazing, incredible you. Here's to the next 80 years bringing beyond amazing things into our lives.
