36.36% of My Life
This morning I left post-it notes for Mr. Val with a big X on them, he'll be sleepy and might not know the date, so I don't know if he'll figure it out (he'll probably think it's an X-Files reference), but as of today, we've known each other for ten years. I'm still in my twenties so ten years is a long freaking time for me.
Last year I wrote a post describing how we met, so I won't repeat myself today.
It's been an amazing ten years. It's grown from that sweet feeling of being truly in love for the first time and become something greater than love. He's my best friend, my companion, my partner and my lover. I can't wait to know what the next decade has in store for us.
Love boys!!!*
*I realize this probably sounds weird out of context, but I call him "boys" and he calls me "girls", I probably say "love boys" a half a dozen times a day without realizing how it might sound to someone else. :-)

If you were trees, your roots would be conjoined and you wouldn't be able to survive apart. I don't know if that's sweet or creepy. Hopefully sweet. :D
But I am very happy for you. And have to look back and laugh at how you made all those trips to NY right under my nose! Back when you were at ISU and so close. And we didn't spend nearly enough time together.
But I do still have the dorm fridge!
I am very happy for you and Mr. Val. Congrats!
Love you,

It was such a weird situation. The internet was such a new thing and I didn't think anyone would understand, so I felt I had to sneak around. I so wanted to tell you but I felt I owed it to mom to tell her first. It worked out in the end at least.
Oh god, does that fridge still smell terribly like Chinese food??? Yuck, I'll never forget the smell every time it was opened.
You are a very lucky woman to have found Mr. Val. And he, you!

I am very happy for you guys. So long as Mr. Val doesn't climb on top of the dining room table and yell "I'm King of the world" we can forgive the Kate Winslet thing,lol. Kevin and I made some of our best friends on the web through a TV show in Latvia so don't feel too bad. Third world reality TV.
10 years is a long time. Once you reach a certain point you know that it will be forever. Happily ever after is possible. Your wedding picture looks like the ones I have of all my friends growing up. Many pony tails and very few poofy white dresses. It's about a marriage after all and not the wedding. When I was a wedding planner in Beverly Hills I would always remind couples of that. I would ask them if they were really ready to get married since they couldn't even pick an ink color out for invitations. Rather than get pissed at me they would actually mellow out and say they appreciated me reminding them. I would tell them that I would do anything I could to marry the love of my life so they should focus on the marriage more than the ceremony. A good mix of both makes for a great start to a happy union.
And I would never have married Mr. Val if he pulled that King of the World bit. Haha!
*gets out calculator*
lemme see if 36.36% is 10 years then *sticks tip of tongue out and mumbles a bit* OMG you were 17.5 when you met! and you're still in love ten years later!! How cute is that??
Go Val girls and boys!
