A couple years ago, I was (jokingly) begging my parents for a dog as a Christmas present, but little did I know, they were actually serious about getting me one! I remember them telling me to get in the car without telling me what for, and about half an hour later, we arrived at our destination. We waited for several minutes, then this woman showed up with a little furry thing in her hands. When she placed him on the grass, it was evident that she was selling us a pure-bred Labrador Retriever, and my life has changed for the better ever since!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
