Six Years!

WOW!

I cannot believe that on January 26th, 2009, Brent and I will have been together for SIX YEARS! It is amazing how he still gives me butterflies. How his simple touches make my heart race, how we are so incredibly goofy around each other, but truly know when to be serious. We have grown so much over these past six years, at times it was difficult, but in the end we were stronger as a couple due to the issues we faced and dealt with.

I think about where I was six years ago, and it is hard. It is hard to remember my life before him. You can take that as you want, but I feel like I have known him my entire life. That somewhere inside, we knew each other long before we actually met. Cheesy; possibly, true; for sure. I met him at the age of 18, started dating him at the age of 19. I was a sophomore in college and working full time. We made the weekends ours, either racing our cars (illegally) or drinking Jager. Yes, we have been drinking that FOREVER! So, screw you people who just started! I contribute my addiction to it, all to Brent!

Come May of this year, we will have lived together for 5 years. MoJo will be 5 in May as well, and Bruno 5 in December! It is so weird to think we have had them almost as long as we have been together! They have been our children and truly pains in our asses! But, what can you do! Gotta love our animals.

The years have come and gone. There have been some tremendous loses and gains. We have worked through certain things no couple should have to face. There were times when we wanted to give up, when we didn't feel like going on. Yet, we always pulled through, talking through our issues, crying through a few.

So *cheers* to the years to come and our wedding this October!
