1st MONTH: OCTOBER!

October Image

Our first month together was the most beautiful experience of my life. I love you so much. I still remember that day like it was yesterday: walking with you to QDOBA, lending you my jacket, asking you to go up to the parking deck, handing you my note. I wish I could relive it every night. Going back and feeling so connected and so in love was so amazing. Asking you if I could be your boyfriend was the greatest decision I have ever made.

2nd MONTH: NOVEMBER!

This was such an awesome date to New York beautiful. I told you this then, but I will tell it to you again: you make exploring the world worth it. I used to be the type of person who could find solace in my room, alone, but after I met you, you showed me that with the right person, the whole world becomes so much more inviting. You are that person for me. I love you so, so much.

3rd MONTH: DECEMBER

December Image

I missed you so much during December! This was my first time spending a long period of time away from you, and it showed me how much I love you. Every day, it felt like there was a timer in my head ticking down to when I could next see you. Every degree it got colder, I just wished I could snuggle with you under the covers that much more. I wish I could have spent Christmas with you beautiful I love you so, so much. You are my Christmas Present and my New Year's Resolution all in one.

4th MONTH: January!

Seeing you again when we went to JC together was so awesome. I loved India Square your town IS so tuff. Finally seeing you in that PATH station in Journal Square lit me up like a candle. You looked so gorgeous, and I still adore that Snitch pin you gave me from the Harry Potter Store.

5th MONTH: FEBRUARY!

I'd ask you a million times over to be my valentine beautiful. Can you be my Valentine! You looked so gorgeous and were so awesome and we had so much fun on our Valentines day trip. Getting to go with you to your Dance show and walking back to the train station was so awesome. I love you so much. This month was filled with so much love and passion and I was reminded every day how lucky I am to get the opportunity to be your partner.

6th MONTH: MARCH!

March Image

I would march a million miles if it meant I could see you for a second more. March was such an amazing month. Getting to five months was so amazing and just getting to see you every day and watching you land research positions, get EMT school, and lock in so hard academically was just an amazing experience. Genuinely, you are so locked in and are going to do so well in life. I just know it.

7th MONTH: APRIL!

Half a year, my birthday, and your birthday. This month was filled with the most awesome celebrations baby. Happy 6 months yet again. This was our first big milestone and I am so happy how it went. We had an awesome date together and I am so lucky to spend so many awesome days and celebrations with you. I love you so much.

8th MONTH: MAY!

I loved watching you lock in for finals and accomplish your goals and HATED moving away from you. 💔 It was so much fun spending time with you, seeing you during URI events, kissing you sneakily in a lecture hall, and falling in love with you all over again.

Today!

Getting to hear your voice and your jokes and your beautiful smile is the best part of every day baby. I know we have been virtual for a while, but every day feels just as special and awesome and giddy as when we are together. I feel so special being around you and texting you and loving you. You are the best person I know, in every regard. You are kind, intelligent, hard working, and so beautiful. I love you baby. Happy eight months.

To many, many more months.
