On the night of December 18, 2014, after I came home from work, you showed up to my home with a Build-A-Bear and roses. At first, I was very confused because you were just standing there with words stuck in your throat. You asked my dad for his permission to ask me to be your girlfriend, and once he said yes, you stared at me. I just stood there for a while in shock, with my stomach full of butterflies. To break the ice I said no, and with a smirk, I quickly took my no back.

Now here we are, two years later, together and stronger than ever. Yes, the road has been bumpy, but I'd do it again. You crossed my life during one of my hardest points, and at first I wasn't open. I wasn't nice when I was upset. I wasn't the sweet girl that you expected me to be when we were in our talking stage. I know any other guy would have walked away, but you stayed. When the clouds were gray in my life, you'd go out of your way to bring sunshine back into my life.

Our relationship hasn't been easy, but at the end I always end up back in your arms. You're my rock. You're my best friend. I love you every second of every day. Our happiest moments and our love for each other has always outweighed the bad. We've learned so much about each other. Every secret, every ticklish spot, every favorite food. We have our shows that can only be watched when we're together.

Thank you for these 24 months of love and joy. Thank you for dealing with my attitude. Thank you for caring and over-reacting over everything. Thank you for listening to my venting. Thank you for all the laughs and smiles. Thank you for being my lover and best friend. I love you very much, and I'm beyond grateful you are in my life. (Even though we've lived in the same town all our lives, and we didn't acknowledge each other until we were both upperclassman.) I can't wait to see what life has in store for us. You've earned a very special place in my heart. And in my crazy family. I'll always be here for you. Happy two years mi amor! I love you.
