One Year Ago.

One year ago today I hopped on a plane by myself for the first time.

One year ago today I laid my eyes on you for the first time.

One year ago today my hands held you for the first time.

One year ago today my ears heard you for the first time.

One year ago today my lips brushed against yours for the first time.

One year ago today my heart began to beat for the first time.

One year ago today I knew for the first time.

Notes: One year ago today is the day I met my current boyfriend for the very first time. I lived in Michigan, he lived in Maryland. We had known each other online since about 2009 but it wasn't until 2013 that he and I had really started to talk more seriously and get to know each other. After our relationship was still going strong for almost a whole year we told our families about each other. Shortly after that his mom and I planned it out for me to fly out to surprise him for his birthday. March 12th, 2014 I hopped on a plane by myself for the first time and I was jet set to Maryland to see the love of my life in person for the very first time. He was so shocked he was trembling and shaking. I'm his very first girlfriend so absolutely everything was so new to him. Our first kiss was his first kiss ever. After that visit I knew for sure that he was going to be the man that I'm going to marry one day. I'm so in love and I'm so lucky to have found someone as wonderful as he is. He's incredible <3. This past October I packed up all of my things and moved out here to Maryland to live with him, and it's been 6 months now living together and two years of being in a relationship together, and we're still going stronger than ever.

This is mine, please don't steal it <3.
