Lots of things have changed in the almost 2 years since I've posted.... But one year-long consistency is the smile on my face, and the man in my life, Jason. I would never have pictured the last year going by as fast as it has, or with him... He is my rock, my love, and my best friend.
More about him later.
Below is something that I found pertinent to life today, closing in on 1-year with Jason and all the changes that will be happening in the next 45 days with him:
Rules for love.
1. When it arrives, cherish it.
