365 days with one marvelous girl
Yesterday Kate and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary. I thought about it a lot and it seems more and more like a huge accomplishment the more I think about it... but not for me. My part was easy. All I had to do was fall in love with the perfect girl and the rest was smooth sailing. On the other hand, I know I can be one hell of a challenge for anyone, especially a girlfriend. But as frustrating as I can be, Kate has never given up on me, and for that I am eternally grateful. I can never tell her how much I love her, but I can damn well try.
There are also a lot of other people that have stuck by me through more than I could have ever asked of them. In Life Choices we talked about how family life growing up affects how we treat the rest of the people we come in contact with, putting a lot of emphasis on physical contact and love, etc. I found that on one level, this is completely inaccurate, but on another it works perfectly. The most significant physical contact I remember having while growing up with my family is a handshake or a punch. Yet, as most of you know, I throw hugs and high fives around like nobody's business. So I didn't pick up this mentality at home, then where? It's you guys: my friends. You all are more like a family to me than anyone else in this world and I can never be thankful enough for it.
