6 Years

6 years ago today, I met Mikey. Totally unexpected. Totally awesome. This picture of us is one of my favorites. It says everything you ever need to know about us. We’re dorky. We’re cute. We’re funny. We’re BFFs. We share a brain. We’re a little bit cool. (That last one might be stretching it but whatever.) And we’re totes in love.

So, 6 years.

6 years of laughing.

6 years of knowing exactly what the other person is thinking with just a look. (If you’ve never heard Mike’s version of the dialog that he believes go on in my head, you need to. )

6 years of watching our favorite shows together.

6 years of going to the movies and getting the same snack. (Giant popcorn, 2 drinks).

6 years of having each others backs.

6 years of helping each other grow personally and professionally.

6 years of keeping each other’s creative juices flowing. (Don’t be dirty.)

6 years of lazy days watching DVD marathons.

6 years of cooking together.

6 years of taking on the bad as a united front.

6 years of rejoicing in the good like giddy children.

6 years of dancing in the aisles of the grocery store. (HEB plays the best music).

6 years of cuddles.

6 years of one-upping each other.

6 years of eating at every Mexican restaurant we can find so that Mike can find the perfect chicken fajitas. (His current favorite is Chuy’s.)

6 years of eating at every burger joint we see so that we can find the perfect burger. (Jury is still out on that one.)

6 years of him letting me get drunkity drunk drunk and making sure I get home safely.

6 years of supporting each other no matter what.

6 years of dreaming of getting married.

6 months, 20 days to our wedding day.

I love you, Mikey. Thank you for changing my life forever. You are the absolute bestest thing to ever happen to me.
