Cheers to 365!

So I want to give fair warning this is going to be a gushy blog post...they aren't normally, so if this is by chance the first time you are reading this blog please don't let this you deter you from reading my other posts!

Today is just extra special for me!

So today the boyfriend and I are celebrating a one year anniversary...yeah yeah I know most of you just rolled your eyes and are like "okay cool, I've been with my boyfriend for four years" and that is awesome for you guys..that's also because most likely you are a normal human being.

I, however, am not.

One year getaway at Castle Hill Cider in Keswick, VA

I will be the first to admit..I am completely ridiculous. I am moody, whiny, frustrating, and down right stubborn. The amount of times I have been irritated but not even sure why is way too many to count! So for me to not only find someone to tolerate me for up to a year (that isn't family) but is a good looking, smart, determined young man is incredible. And is absolutely 100% something to brag about..and celebrate!!

Let me tell you about this kid, he is something special, real special.

So we met back in February 2015, our first date was one for the books. 

We had brunch at a local spot and the kid could not be outdone. 

You know how on your first date you do the small talk -

Where are you from? 

Do you have any siblings? 

How do you like Richmond? 

What's your favorite color?

..blah blah blah. 

Well we get passed that stuff and we get to the 

Tell me a time you did something crazy

 Tell me your favorite place you have ever traveled

 If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

 Tell me the dumbest thing you have ever done

Well they are typical questions I ask. 

Of course I have my stories already picked out but this kid, out of no where has to top every answer I have. He's done something crazier, he's done more of it, he's been further away..GOD it was irritating. I was done. 

I was like no way, this kid is a showoff. 

Turns out his confidence, need for adventure, and life experience is one of his most attractive qualities!

Well fast forward a few months and several MUCH better dates, he asked me to be his girlfriend! Want to hear how ridiculous I am...I even gave him 24 hours to back out of it!!

Well thankfully, neither of us backed out and 365 days later here we are :)

This post isn't just to inform you all that I am celebrating a one year anniversary..cause lord knows that is lame... but it is more of a huge thank you to the boyfriend for all the incredible adventures, the hand holding & shoulder to cry on, the love & support, the push when I needed it, the laughs, and the journey that has been this past year.

Cheers to 365!
