I know what it looks like

It looks like just another yearly greeting. And it is, but not just that.

I've been trying to write something for a few months, never really getting into the groove. I imagine you've already given up on regularly checking this link for anything new.

So first things first, Happy 5th Anniversary! I always knew we'd get here. And I know it sounds like a long time, but I imagine that we've just passed the first stages of our relationship. There are a lot more years ahead of us and I'm excited for every one of them.

I know we've talked before that our lives shouldn't just revolve around each other, and I do understand it, but at the same time, my mindset revolves around the idea that this is it, this is where I want to be, this is the person I want to hold hands with facing the uncertain future. And I know it doesn't seem like it at times, with me spending so much time playing my computer games, but it just feels home with you. *Note - I said this last year too lol

This year has been quite the challenge. We had our first big misunderstanding that I don't even remember anymore, we had our financial challenges this year, challenges at work, but at the end of the day we get through, we manage. We also had some great blessings this year, with your promotion, the car, your new place - but we've also had to sacrifice some luxuries. We don't have grand plans this year, I don't have my usual yearly surprise as well - I hope you understand. We always make the best of what we have, so we'll just have to do it a little more this year.

I love you, hun. That's all I really wanted to say. This isn't similar to my previous posts, with the carefully constructed sentences and all. This is as raw as it gets probably. So let's just enjoy our day as planned, and welcome our new year excited for what's to come.
