Anniversary

I will get into the catching up post tomorrow but for now...
Today is my third anniversary with M. Three years ago I was coming back on a long plane ride from England feeling independent and free. I couldn't find my cell phone and this boy I knew through a friend was supposed to call and meet me for a drink- something to drive away the boredom of our hometown. I was leaving the very next day to drive 7 hours to see my friend's tombstone, a precious person who had died while I was overseas. The boy and I only had a small window of opportunity to meet.
I messaged him on Facebook with slim hope that he would see it, and even though he'd made plans with friends after calling and getting no response from me, he cancelled them to take a short walk in the snowy woods with me.
And over the next month I was trying to convince myself that he was nothing to me, that I really only liked his friend. At a certain point the avalanche of our love began and I haven't been able to climb back to that single-self. Thank God :).
So three years later the 21 year old girl who wanted to make her crush jealous became a 24 year old woman that is beginning to know true love. Soon, that ring is going to come out and change my life. My life has already been changed by this person who makes me want to be a better human being. What would I have done without M?
Thank you fate, destiny, higher being - for letting me meet this person who loves me unconditionally and treats me the way every woman deserves. He is my Prince Charming in Big Ten hoodie.
I love you.
