When I agreed to go out with you on a date after a particularly rough and long day of work, I had no idea that I was choosing to accept the first day of the rest of my life. I was clueless to the fact that you’d someday be my everything and that what I thought was some casual first date would turn into anything – much less an incredible life with you.
It’s so cheesy… but, I didn’t believe in fate until I met you. I’d often joked about the universe working in some mysterious ways perhaps, but never really believed it until discovering a year into our relationship that we’d somehow managed to chat online a year prior to us officially meeting and had decidedly skipped over one another (fine, I’ll be fair – I totally skipped over you haha).
We found each other again despite the odds. Fate brought you to me. It let us live out the lives we needed to experience and the relationships we needed to endure so that we could meet again at the most perfect time and really appreciate each other. I truly believe that the people we were 3 years ago weren’t ready for the life and commitment we now share.
You turned my world. I was making it on my own. I was working hard… too hard really and barely making it. But I was getting there. Next thing I knew, I was leaving a toothbrush on your sink and waking up to you every day (and every night… because your snoring really sucks). You watched me struggle and you let me do my thing. I was proud and working was very important to me. But you gave me the greatest gift by taking my hand and letting me lean on you just enough to take the edge off. You gave me confidence in myself and made me feel safe. I knew I couldn’t possibly fail anymore so long as I had you. And I haven’t failed since.
You loved me enough to accept my flaws, my not so pristine past, and my unsure future. If there weren’t dozens of other reasons to love you, those would be enough. There are so many moments where I can’t help but stop to look at you and be in awe of how much you love me. It makes the weeks fly by when we’re together and days feel like eternity when we’re apart.
I can’t believe we’re celebrating our 2nd anniversary – mostly because in the best of ways, it feels like we’ve been together for so much longer. People are always surprised to know that we’ve only been together for a couple of years – especially considering the amount of hardcore adulting we’ve accomplished together. But I think that’s what makes us so special. We’re so in sync with one another… it makes living life so much easier.
Thank you for being my rock and absolute constant. I’m looking forward to many more years of our childish antics, touching each other’s butts, yelling ridiculous obscenities across the house, hopefully not putting anymore holes in walls from running around being silly, and most importantly – falling more in love every day.
I love you squishie <3 May the 4th be with us always.
Happy anniversary, you two!
This is so adorable!!
Awwww so sweet. May the fourth always be with you and in your favor. (How many fandoms can i squeeze into one congratulations?) Regardless, I think you rolled the di and lucked out that it landed on a 20. Happy anniversary!
Happy Anniversary! I hope you two have many more wonderful years together.

Happy anniversary!! This was just so cute.
Aweeee I loveeee thisss!!!! Happy Anniversary! (And- Jack and I recently found out that my first apartment and his best friend’s first apartment? Right across the parking lot from each other. He even remembers my blue Ninja motorcycle parked in front of my building. How crazy. We could have met 10 years sooner. But. Like you said, we had a lot of growing to do and mistakes to make in those ten years. So, now, we can totally appreciate each other :))
You two are just so adorable! And what a fantastic anniversary date! Wishing you ALL the years of bliss and happiness. <3
