Today I celebrate 4 years with this man.
Four years since I drove out to Salt Lake to visit him telling myself over and over he was just a friend.
Four years since I realized I wasn't going out to see just a friend.
Four years since I finally let my guard down.
Four years since I put my past heartaches aside and opened up again.
Four years since my best friend became my boyfriend.
Four years since we started our journey to forever.
In those 4 years we've seen a lot.
Ups and downs. Backs and forths. Rights and lefts. Reds and greens. Monkeys and zebras.
And then there was that whole mission thing he went on for 730 days.
It hasn't always been easy, but I wouldn't trade a second of it.
Nathan makes me happier then I ever thought possible.
I won't tell you that it's all butterflies and rainbows.
Things are hard sometimes and we both have a little stubborn streak (mine is actually quite large) that gets us into little riffs.
But I really wouldn't have it any other way.
I love you Nathan Joshua Merkley.
Next month out anniversary will change to April 6th.
And I can't freaking wait!
