He Is
So yesterday was our "official" anniversary. Four years together. Wow. In celebration we went to dinner and had a few drinks on Friday night. We had decided some time ago that our financial situation, while stable, wouldn't allow any elaborate gift buying this year, as we had done in the past. But when someone tells you, "All I could ask for on our anniversary is that we spend it together, because nothing makes me happier than spending time you with. That would be enough for me." Gifts seem so small and insignificant.
When you first start a relationship with someone, you don't think about the future, you think about the present. I think we've finally gotten to the point, as a couple, that I can start to conceptualize what I want from our relationship in the future, with our marriage, our children, our lives. And as that's pretty cool.
I've been thinking a lot about our past. Where we've been, and how we've become who we are. How we've developed together. There were a lot of issues in the beginning. Most stemmed from stubborness and bad expiriences. Me, being in college, wanting to live it up, him just coming out of a bad relationship, having to constantly deal with his emotions and the drama that came from it.
In the end, I have no regrets. While I do harbor great disdain for certain people in both our pasts, if it weren't for them, we never would have met. (Imagine where we'd be if you'd had SUCCESSFUL relationships?!) ;]
And look where we are today?
Could've never predicted we'd make it this far, and be this... happy.
"He is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
He is everything I want that I never knew I needed."
