Today, Tylor and I have been together for one entire year and nine months!!! And it has gone by so fast!! So, I have been thinking about all that has happened the whole time we have been together…
Months 1-4 (October-February): Tylor and I are completely in love and can barely be without each other. Our first date was great! And when we went out for my 18th birthday we had a blast! And for Valentine’s Day he went all out.
He gave me a huge gift bag, complete with body washes, chocolate, a glass rose, more chocolate, a beautiful card, a teddy bear, a manicure kit…the works! All topped off with a bouquet of 13 balloons.
Months 5-7 (March-May): We are living together by now, (how we got there is another story, for another time) and we are learning how to be smart with our money, and to not drive each other CRAZY, we loved staying up late playing video games and going out together, even just to walk around a store we had no money to spend in.
Months 8-12 (June-October): I graduated high school, with my sweetheart there to support me every step of the way. We spent the summer together and had TONS of fun! We went swimming, to the arcade, bought new books and read together, and got buy one get one free snow cones almost every day. I applied for school and Tylor started his junior year. Our one year anniversary was spent at home and we had fun playing games and watching movies. And Tylor turned 17 on October 30th.
One Year-Now (November-July): We had our second Christmas together and I turned 19. Tylor worked his little butt off and finished up his junior year and began working at his old job. He works hard to support us and I appreciate him more and more every day. He found a college he wants to go to and we are preparing to move sometime in the next 2 years.
I quit my old job and started at a new one. I am still in school and will graduate in October as a Registered Medical Assistant, Registered Phlebotomy Technician, and a Certified Nursing Assistant.
Overall, it has been the best year and nine months of my life! (And hopefully his too!) But, that’s not to say we didn’t have some hard times to work through because we have had more than our fair share, but the only thing that matters is that we have gotten through it and we are still getting through it, and that we are doing it together, and that’s what really matters.
