8.18.15 Today marks four years since Will and I have been together. :heart: 

It all started on May 1st 2011 when I lost my best friend, my furbaby and my everything: Merlin. Merlin was a black labrador/Hybrid who I had since he was just a puppy of six weeks old. His birthday is coming up soon on the 30th of this month and would've been ten years old if he'd live that long. He is what got me to survive high school in all honesty lol. I loved everything inside and out about that dog regardless of his strange quirks. When I was told that he'd been taken to the pound to be put down over some petty thing that I stressed over, and over again: I thought my world had been thrown into shambles. I felt like I had nothing. Regardless of the consoling and empathy friends had shared, I just felt like no one really understood what I was going through.

And then a little light sparked into my life.  

:bulletblue: Will came to me and shared his story of how he lost his fur baby; Angel. Similar tendencies but on this side; people could be so spiteful, cold and ignorant to where they - for whatever reason were never at fault, that it was everyone elses fault. Will understood. He'd been in my shoes, and he was there when no one else really was.  I lost Merlin, and I know I'll never get him back. I've since come to terms with this. But with this loss: I gained someone whose picked up the pieces of my heart that has shattered and has helped piece them back together with his own love and understanding. I gained a best friend who does not judge me by looks, or anything like that. 

:bulletgreen: 8.18.11 Will and I planned a date to finally see each other for the very first time. This was both exciting and nerve wrecking. The day before, Will had started is journey in the evening to get to North Carolina during the day. Around 3am, Will calls in a panic: lost in the middle of Georgia with very little gas left in his car. Thanks to googlemaps and the usage of cell phones I managed to steer him in the right direction and to find an open gas station cx ! Probably the scariest hurdle to get through was that I think. Our first date was an adventure with Chili's; a weekend in a simple little hotel and a day at the beach :heart: 

We have seen each other at our best and at our worst, through thick and thin, days where we're ready to strangle one another but make up in the end. We struggle just like everyone else does day-to-day but we make it work. We still love and support one another even when times are tough.

I love his family to pieces, and I know he loves mine. (My brothers like him more than me sometimes lol). I love his brothers just as I do mine :meow:

Neither of us are perfect - but ... to me, Will is perfect just the way he is. He is, not only my boyfriend, and the love of my life, but he is also my best friend; my cheerleader in odd ways; he supports my decisions and then also expresses concern when something doesn't seem right. Regardless of whether everyone else sees it or not: He is hard-working, driven, determined, an awesome cook, and just an overall: wonderful man and I am proud of who he is.

He is my world; the rock to my foundation and words will never be able to describe how much I care and love him.
