Two years ago if someone had told me that I had just met the love of my life, I would've laughed in their face. When we first met, we were so different. No one would've ever guessed that we would make it this far. But here we are, two years later and couldn't be happier. In the last two years, you have become my best friend. We have been through so much together. There is no one I would rather have spent the last two years with. You do so much for me, and there would never be a way for me to explain just how much I love and appreciate you.

We met at a hard time in both of our lives. We both had been heartbroken, and we were trying to make the pieces of our hearts fit back together. At the beginning it was hard. We didn't know what we were or what we wanted to be. We were definitely more than friends, but we weren't really a couple yet. Together we taught each other how to love again. We realized that we were only hurting ourselves more by running away from our feelings.

Everybody said we would never work. There's a line from a Kenny Chesney song that says "Forget about your friends, you know they're gonna say we're bad for each other, but we ain't good for anyone else," this is probably the best way to describe the first year. Our friends got tired of us going back and forth all the time, but it was never just as simple as breaking up. We knew that we loved each other way too much to ever give up on what we have. We fought for each other.

When we finally stopped running from our feelings, we realized that we had something really good and everything just fell into place. I have never been happier. We've worked so hard to get to where we are now, and I am so proud of us. We've grown up so much in the last two years, and we are realizing what really matters. I love every second I get to spend with you, whether it's laying on the couch watching bad reality TV, or it's going out for a fun date night. You always know how to make me laugh until I'm crying, and you know exactly what to say when I've had a rough day.

Last year was probably the hardest on us, but we handled it amazingly. When I left for West Georgia, we were both sad to see me go. We knew that long distance was going to be especially hard on us. We made it work, and we were actually happy. Getting through that made me realize that we could get though anything as long as we had each other.

We are working so hard to have a future we can both be proud of. We're doing things the right way, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us together. You're my best friend, and you understand me better than anyone else. I love you so much and there is no one that I would rather have by my side.
