4 Years Ago

In honor of August 10th, I've broken a number of grammatical rules by writing my title as I have. I've done so because August 10th is a pretty special day to me. You see, four years ago today, I went on my very first date with Ben.

Now four years, three graduations, many trips, many weddings (including our own), living away from each other, medical issues, fights, blunders, bumps in the road, and many little moments that make it worth it later... here we are. We have been through a lot, Ben and me, and I'm anxious to see what the future holds in the next four and forty years.

Although August 10th isn't technically our anniversary anymore, it will always hold a special place in my heart. After all, it's the day that Ben and I went to Thai place, he claimed he was a vegetarian so I ate tofu, and then he ordered and ate beef spring rolls. :)

I love you, Ben Duvall - even if this isn't our anniversary anymore. <3
