A Year To Remember

So tomorrow will be an entire year that I've been dating my boyfriend, Matt. I've really been thinking about our relationship the closer we've gotten to this important milestone and all the great times we've had together not only as a couple, but as each other's best friend. We've had a lot of laughs and a lot of smiles. And there are a lot of very memorable moments I have stored in my memory that I'd like to share with you readers as we get so close to this amazing date. 
I remember the very day he asked me out on our first date. I'd just gotten out of a long-term relationship with someone and not many people knew for about a week or two. He'd been talking to me a couple days before he found out and we'd talked about going to a movie with some friends or something like that. I agreed and we set up a date for when I got home from the vacation that I was on. But when it came out about me and my ex, he asked if I wanted to make it a date instead. I of course said yes. Lolz. We already knew that we liked each other, and after he found out that I was single we started actually talking. 
When I came home from vacation we actually started dating. We got together officially as a couple on July 21, 2010. And tomorrow is our ONE YEAR anniversary. (Which I am so very excited for. ♥) But anyway, I remember the first time we said "I love you." I was the first to say it, even though I really didn't want to put myself out there. Lolz. I just kind of took a chance and went for it. We were sitting around one afternoon and I was looking at him and suddenly this smile ad slight blush came across my face and I looked away from him. He said "What?" with his own little smile and I remember just shyly saying it out loud... "I think I love you," I told him. When I searched his face for a reaction all I saw was happiness...and maybe love. And when he said it back, it felt perfect. We sealed it with a kiss, and said it at least once every day since. *sigh* I love that man more than words could ever express...
There are so many more memories between us, but not enough time or space for me to tell you about them all. I could never stop telling you about all of the times he has taken my breath away with his kisses or swept me up to slow dance to a beautiful song and made me feel like a princess. Or about all the times he's held me and wiped my tears away when I was scared or hurt. And not even about all the times we've whispered sweet secrets to each other while we stared deeply into each other's eyes.... No, I could never have enough time or space to tell you about all the wonderful things we've experienced with each other or all of the memories I have logged away into my brain... But I can share with you some pictures of us over the year that we've spent together and tell you a little bit about each one, so I think that's what I will do. Lolz.
