I know that the photograph for this article isn't us but you would love it if it was. Hopefully one day, you can talk me into climbing a mountain just to get this photograph. My outfit might just be a little more rugged, and I know that my hair will be all over the place. Everybody will be more than surprised if you turn me into a mountain and outdoorsy person, you might even get a pat on the back.

When we first got in touch, I really had no idea what was going to come out of it. There was a possibility you would think I was the weirdest person ever or you would find me somewhat interesting and want to talk. It was a complete hit or miss situation but I was willing to take the risk. I can say that I am happy I took that risk.

You drove more than twenty minutes so you could try out an ice cream flavor that I wouldn't shut up about. I don't know anybody else who would be willing to do that. I was over the top when you also liked the ice cream flavor and ended up ordering it, just like me. You took me on a "hike" and offered to carry me on your back if I felt like I was going to collapse. I look back and laugh about it now, even though at the moment, I did feel like my life was coming to an end. That was defiantly a lesson for the both of us not to go on a far walk in the middle of the day (or maybe just leave me at home next time.)

I read a post that said, "Sometimes, it only takes one person to change your life. One to be there for you, to push you, to believe in you. It only takes one." If I read this post a few weeks or months ago, I would have never believed it. You have proved that this statement is true, it only takes one person to change your life.

You support me in everything, including my cheesy food articles and interesting crockpot recipes. I promise that next time I will buy all the right ingredients and the recipe will be a little more exciting. You have made me slowly come out of my comfort zone, and I think I have begun to do the same for you. I did talk you into putting a face mask on the other day, even though you wouldn't admit that you enjoyed it. Your awfully lucky that I didn't take a photo because I could have added it to this article !

Even though you say I could never be a food critic because of my limited appetite, thank you for letting me take you to all kinds of restaurants. Thank you for fixing broken things around my apartment, always being down to get dessert, and letting me become best friends with your dog. Thank you for changing my outlook on life.
