On the topic of anniversaries...

This past Monday was my parents 36th wedding anniversary.

Alex decided to pick up a card for my parents, and inscribe a sweet note inside, wishing them well, telling them what a good job they did raising me and hoping that maybe our relationship might be as good and strong and long lasting as theirs.

I read what she had written in the card and began to cry. It was so beautiful. (Yes, happy tears!)

When I brought it over to my parent's house, my mom misted up when she read it as did my sister Meghan.

Meghan said "I've never met the girl yet, but I already love her!"
"Yeah," I replied. "So do I."

So on this, the eve of the (and I say this only for political correctness with our dating life, see Definition of a Date and Well, Now, I Wouldn't Exactly Say That...) six week anniversary of our first meeting, let me just say I love you, Alex.

I hope that our relationship grows and becomes as strong as either of our parents'.
