And boy, it's been a pretty great two years.
I learned how to live and I learned how to truly love.
I learned how to fight, forgive, and make up.
I learned what it was like to care about someone more than myself.
I learned how to be comfortable with being myself.
I learned that I am beautiful and that so many people love me.
I learned to be brave and make sacrifices.
I learned how to say goodbye many times.
He has taught me so much, about myself and about life and faith.
Because of him, I believe very much more in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
It was no mistake, us working together at the same place. Definitely not a coincedence. No, God had prepared me and prepared him. We needed each other. And ever since then, we have clung to each other as safety nets in a crazy world.
We fell in love. It wasn't hard, it just seemed natural. To spend every day talking, laughing, crying, and going on adventures just seemed like the right thing. It was easy to be comfortable around him, easy to be real around him, easy to be me around him. And I liked that.
He gained my trust and became my best friend. The best friend I have ever had. The most stable and reliable friend I have ever had. I am so grateful for his friendship and his example. People can judge, people can diss, people can make fun... But they don't understand. Heavenly Father knows what he's doing when he places people in your lives. Some need to be there only for a brief period of time, some will be there forever.
I am so proud of who this kid is becoming. He's a missionary, a representative of Jesus Christ. He's changing lives, he's changing his life.
I will never forget the memories: the good, the bad, the hard, the downright miserable, and the experiences I wouldnt trade for anything in the world. Here's to many years of making more memories :)
