Happy One Year Anniversary!

To the one and only Laura Bess Henry:

It's our one year anniversary and I thought what better way to show my love and appreciation for the most special girl in my life than proclaiming it on my blog. First and foremost I want to say that I'm sorry I'm missing this monumental (I feel like I say that alot on this thing) event. I wish that I could be there to celebrate with you and treat as you should be treated.

This past year has been the most amazing year I've ever had. I wouldn't take back any day, minute or second that we spent together laughing, bickering, smiling and well other stuff that'll remain between you and me. I feel so fortunate to have found someone that I'm so compatible with. Someone I can be myself around, will accept me for who I am and most of all is my best friend. In you I confide so much and you of all people know me best. I've always said that it's one of the most amazing parts about being in a relationship is that it only takes one person to change you and that it's really something special that someone could get to know you and come to love you so much for simply being yourself. It's true.

We've never really fought, and when we have we've come to laugh about it in the seconds to follow. Somehow enjoying each other's company and having a good time is what we've always been about. But perhaps the best aspect of this entire thing is that you have taught me so much. Despite the fact that you may not think so. I've told you once that my sincerest hope is that I too will have left an impact on your life somehow. That you can look back and remember me when you're faced with some obstacle in your life. I want to be the one that you compare future boyfriends too... if it ever comes to that.

I've said it since the beginning... Lucky since 1/16/05. I am. You are an amazing woman. You're smart, beautiful and incredible. At times you're indecisive, anxious, complicated and overdramatic, but without those qualities you'd be boring. You keep me on my toes and I brag about you all the time. It's hard to believe that a girl like you can like a guy like me. LoL.

I love you and that's perhaps the only way I can some this letter up. I don't think I've ever said those to words to someone and really meant it. By that I mean you taught me what it means to love someone (maybe that's what you've taught me all these months).

May you enjoy this day as if I were there, but leaving out some special parts. When you arrive here in London on spring break I promise I'll make it up to you and it will all be worth while.

I love you Laura Bess Henry and that makes this day all the better.
