I remember when you first got off the airplane in Phoenix. You were so scared

of being on the airplane that we went outside and huddled under a pay phone until you felt better. I was driving a friends car because I didn’t want to be embarrassed about driving the van to pick you up.

It was the first time I saw you other than in a picture. It seems so long ago now with everything that we have been through. But we are still here and I’ll be writing a note like this 50 years from now.

I can’t live without you. We have been with each other every day since then, every day, and I would not have it any other way.

And everything only gets better.

You are what makes my world come to life and the force that makes me move forward.

It’s amazing how many words we try to come up with because "I Love You" has been used so much. I was a little off today when I went to write this. I looked through love notes and poetry and valentine’s day graphics, but nothing quite fit and nothing can really say much more than simple "I Love You." So I will stick with that.

And I hope it was cool to sneak into this blog.
