Wow. 4 years...

To my love, 

Seems just like yesterday you walked into Polo Cafe on the south side. Just like yesterday that you met my mom in that apartment in Humbolt Park.  The first time you let me take the subie when you left to go out of town. Moving in together. Our first fight. Our first make-up sex. That night at Angelina's when you and I could not actually get the words out but both knew what the other was getting at. Actually saying "Do you think we can make this work."

Sneaking me into my first Boystown bar. Turning 21 in the doorway of Crew. Me leaving Polo for Hilton. The night I proposed in the middle of Michigan  Ave. Moving into Jefferson Park. You going back to Reiser. My first trip anywhere. Columbia River Gorge. San Fransico. Hanford. Boston. Providence Town. L.A. Wyoming. Stergis. Rushmore. The freaking Corn Palace. North Carolina. Raleigh. Camp Lajune. Dallas. 

Our first home. Our first Dog. Ripping walls out. Putting walls up. Fighting. Making up:)

Wow as I look at this.... I pray that the next four are as wonderful as the first.

Love you JVD
