To my love,

Time really does fly when you're having fun. To think that I have been dating you for about four years baffles me. That's about 1,460 days. I remember the moment you asked me out. Sitting at your couch holding hands watching some cheesy action movie. We sat in silence but it wasn't awkward. Having my hand in yours just felt right. When you looked down at our hands and said "So does this mean you'll be my girlfriend?" time stood still. To think that way back then when we were little sophomores in high school and now we're sophomores in college is both amazing and crazy all at the same time.

We've had our share of good times and bad times. Tears and laughs. But I just want you to know I wouldn't have it any other way. Anniversaries may not mean as much to everyone else as they do to me but I think it depends of how you think of them. I think of them as being one step closer to spending the rest of my life with the love of my life. I know we're young and we can't tell the future but I cannot imagine my life without you in it.

Thank you for taking a chance on me. I know I was quiet and kind of awkward. I know most of the time I go unnoticed. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and giving me a chance to show you the real me. I know it takes me time to be comfortable with people but it happened in time huh?

Thank you for making countless memories with me. Everything I do is much better when you're by my side. And of course thank you for documenting all of these moments with me. I've made you take about a thousand pictures and I'm pretty sure you're so sick of it but you still suffer through it every time I pull out my phone. You know I'm obsessed with them and I hope someday I can show them to our kids and say here's your dad and I at your age.

Thanks for suffering through my favorite TV shows with me and teaching me about yours. Football and basketball are actually enjoyable for me to watch now. Thank you for always being there in a way that no one else is.

Thanks for holding me when I cry, sticking up for me when I can't find the courage to do it myself and just being your goofy self. We even each other out and you truly are my best friend. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thank you for sticking by me through thick and thin. Thank you for dealing with my crazy moments and most of all for never giving up. I know sometimes things get tough but I just want you to know no matter what I'm not going anywhere and I hope the feeling is mutual.

So here's to four years and many more. Filled with lots of pictures, Celtics and Patriots games, episodes of shameless, dinner dates, good times with friends, adventures with Kobe and memories of all sorts.

Happy anniversary. I love you.
