Happy 8-year anniversary!

Colin and I have been together for 8 years! Time truly flies by. It's hard to believe that I've spent a quarter of my life with him, but it's also hard to believe that it's only been 8 years.

While we'd known each other for a couple of years before we started dating and neither of us even considered the possibility we'd end up together, once we decided to give it a shot, our relationship blossomed overnight. It was really amazing - very early on, I knew that we'd end up spending our lives together (though it took Colin a bit longer to fully come to the same conclusion, and I was...for once...patient!). Eight years ago we went on our first real date - we spent the day in Discovery Park flying a kite. Then we grabbed coffee in Magnolia and dinner at the B&O. We ended up watching a movie at his place, which was the most inapprporiate & depressing pick: The Decalogue, a Polish movie about the 10 Commandements. From that day onwards, we've been together pretty much every single day.

Colin's the most wonderful partner in crime and life and I love him very, very much! I'm so much of a better person because of him - he inspires me, supports me and amazes me daily. Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart!
