Three Years

Three years.

1095 days.

That's how long Cal and I have officially been together. Unbelievable, right?

Yesterday marked our three year anniversary of hanging out/making out/dating. Time has flown so fast that I cannot believe it. Not all of those 1095 days have been easy, but they certainly have been worth it.

A lot has happened in our past three years together. Here's the last three years at a glance.

-Two university graduations and three degrees (one undergrad for Cal and two undergrads for me)

-Lifestyle changes

-Moving in together

-Countless discussions about politics

-Facing trials a part... and then together

-Figuring out where our relationship was headed

-One acceptance to graduate school (one more to come in approx 1.5 years - Go Cal Go!)

-A wonderful, full-time job

-A proposal

-9.75 month engagement

-One wonderful, magical wedding

-Buying a car

-Growing up together

-Financial independence

-Travels down to St. George

-Spending one New Year's together

-Spending ZERO Christmas Days together -- this year will be our first

-Countless nights in

-Hundreds of photographs together

-Numerous runs/work outs together

-Reading Harry Potter

-Cooking together almost everyday

-Dividing and conquering laundry together

-Cal becoming a part of my family -- they all adore him, esp. my cute brothers

-Writing my brother Nate every week together

-Going to the cabin and showing Cal my "redneck" side :)

-Countless family parties

-Visiting my grandma at the nursing home (I get asked by the older women fairly often if Cal is my husband. When I answer yes, I get told he's a looker/they want him to come with me more/I'm so lucky)

-Picnics in the park

-Sleeping in

-Shopping trips

-An internship overseas

-Dinners out

-Finding a summer fling, that turned into a boyfriend, then a fiance and finally my husband

The list of things that have happened over the past three years could go on forever. The important thing is that we're here now, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

To my summer fling turned boyfriend turned fiance and now husband, I love you times a million and appreciate you more than words can express. Can you believe how far we've come? I'm so looking forward to a lifetime plus some with you.

This was one of the first three pictures we took together. I loved him after only being with him for about 5 months. I'm not sure I've ever admitted that before... :)
