To think that as of today, Lindsey and I have been together for one year is mind boggling. Time really does fly when you're having a great time, when things in your life are going better than you could have ever imagined. We've come a long way, despite having been best friends for years before there being an "us" there was still a lot of learning about each other that happened over the year. And just like any relationship, we have had our ups and downs. We've been able to work through them all though, like any solid, well rounded relationships are capable of.
There's been so much that we have gone through and I will be honest in saying that there's still days where I'm absolutely stunned that I was lucky enough to be able to look at this girl and know that she's mine. Knowing that I'm making tons of other guys jealous by the fact I can call her a girlfriend, that I get to go on crazy adventures with her, make her some kick-ass Egg's Benny in the morning, have random dance parties with and go on trips as often as possible.
This relationship for the past year hasn't been just about "us" it's also been about ourselves as independent people. The fact that she makes me push to always do more, to always keep my head up and look at the positives in life and know that if that's what I truly want, I can achieve it. I've had a lot of building to do within myself but with her by my side, it's made it easier. To know that you have someone that you can rely on, someone who will support you no matter how crazy of an idea you may have and always be by your side to help you up when things don't always go your way. When you found that person that by just looking into their eyes and know that everything will be ok, even if it isn't at that current moment.. Is something special.

I was always told that you know you found that special person when you get that feeling that you can't describe. That you try your best to tell and express but no matter the type of explanation you give, you're never happy with because you know it just touches on how they really make you feel. Clearly my past blogs have proved this to be true because I'm constantly trying to get my feelings across and always feel like I fail miserably. She's someone special, and I've known that since before we even first met each other.
Lindsey - I'll never forget the moment when we were walking along Robson street, after seeing each other for the very first time in 7+ years. That moment when our hands touched and we wrapped our fingers around each others hands. That moment still gives me the same feeling I got when it happened.
Every adventure we've taken, no matter how big or small, has left a lasting impact on me, and I can only imagine what our future holds. I know it will be nothing short of amazing and that we will always be looking for the next big crazy thing for us to accomplish.

I look forward to our never-ending story...
