i'll never forget the moment i realized she actually loved me. the look in her eyes, on her face as she said the words, not for the first time, are something that i will never forget. i knew almost immediately after we started dating that this was something very serious. it was soon after that i realized i was in love. my life has changed so much since i left for college, but changes just as dramatic occurred at this point in my life. looking back (it was just over a year ago) i realize how incredibly lucky i am to have this woman in my life.
