A year and a half with Tom

Ask us how long we've been a couple

and we'll tell you a year and a half.

Ask us how many days we've spent together as a couple

and we'll say 547.5 days.

Ask us how many days we've spent together

in person not via a computer or a phone and we'll say

that we've spent 125 days together without the use of

any type of connection other than hand holding.

Sparks flew so quickly between us

that we trace our relationship back to day one.

It was a simple email, hi's and hello's and how are you's

and questions as to who the other person was.

Nothing really romantic but in an instant a

friendship was born that was unlike any other.

Soon after we realized we'd stumbled upon something

more powerful than either of us had expected we embarked

on an adventure that would take us both to places

we had never been before.

Literal places like Texas for Tom and Liverpool for me,

and more emotional places like being so in love with someone and 

not wanting to be away from them ever.

Tom makes me laugh every single day

whether we're together or apart, he always makes

sure there is a giant smile on my face.

He thinks it's so funny when he makes me laugh

and my laugh turns into high pitched giggles that I can't control.

Then he gives me a big hug and tells me how much he loves my laugh.

He's the sweetest in so many ways.

He can sense if I'm a little sad or homesick

and he does everything he can to make

me feel better, whether it's curl up with

an animated movie or take me out for

some American cuisine.

We high five when we're excited

and we are rarely seen not holding hands.

We are found laughing most of the time

or being sarcastic with each other which

turns into laughter eventually.

We do the fresh prince hand shake between 

Will and Jazz except after we slap hands

and do the 'psshhh' we kiss because we're

allowed to change up legendary handshakes.

We're quirky, awkward and hilarious

and it makes me so happy to have found someone

that let's me be me in so many ways!!

A year and a half with my guy makes

my heart flutter a million flutters ;)

Alright, enough sap for one day ;)

P.S. Go listen to 'Lost in my mind' by The head and the heart.
It's been on repeat all morning :)
