this little, big life

This is how he say's "happy anniversary:"

I love you too Alex.  

And thanks... 

for putting up with me.

for being patient with me. 

for loving my daughter as if she's your own.

for honoring my relationship with her daddy.

for teaching me, through example, that our dreams can be our life.

for leaving me speechless at least once a day.

for calling me out on my bullshit, and still loving me afterward.

for being honest, always.

for believing in me as a mom, a student, a "picture-taker," a writer, a training therapist, a girlfriend.

for picking me up when I fall, and than picking me up again...and again...and again.

for staying true to you.

for finding me.

Thanks for being my boyfriend all year.
