4 years

So today marks the day Patrick and I have been together for four years. I think that this year is my favorite, because 4 is my favorite number. Plus, it has taken some time and effort but we get along better now than we ever have. Not to say that we did not like or care for each other in the beginning but the journey has brought us to a point of realizing that the love is real. I know everyone is confused as to why we are not married yet. I have grown up with single parents and it was not what I would call the most exciting thing on Earth. I believe that marriage is very sacred and is a forever committment. I understand that you can fall out of love just as fast as you fall in. I believe that reasoning is why I have not yet pushed myself into it. I know I am going to spend 100 years with Pat, so why do I have to have a ring on my finger the whole time? Even if I wait ten more years (don't worry, he's not getting off that easy!), the facts will still be the same, Pat and I together forever. :)
