I am so lucky to be yours.

What a busy day today! I had two back to back quizzes, and the worst headache to top it off. I started my diet regime and I was getting withdrawal symptoms from the portions I was accustomed to eating. I got home at around 8:00 p.m. and took a nap till 10:00 p.m. I had roasted Chicken for dinner, and went upstairs to do my readings. I definitely had planned to pull an all nighter today, and thought that a shower would help. Off I went to the washroom, and enjoyed my quick shower. I easily climbed into my Tweety night shirt, and navy polka-dot pajamas. Not being able to talk to him from the last week was really getting to me. When I moisturised my face with Vaseline, I looked at my phone. The time was 11:42 p.m. I wanted to send him a message right at 12:00 a.m. After all, it is August 16th, 2012. This day, last year is when we first met, and instantly fell for each other. No questions asked. Simply, just a coffee with this charming young man won me over.

I typed up this message, "Happy Anniversary honey! I know it's not so happy right now, and we don't have a reason to celebrate. But I still wanted to wish you, because this day won't come again till next year." I started blow-drying my hair in the middle of this message. I thought, maybe I'll add to it or send it as it is. I was killing time blow-drying my hair, when really... my eyes were were focused on the time on my phone. It was 11:56 p.m. Every minute was passing by so slow. I just wanted to touch screen the 'Send' button already. Still blow-drying my hair.. it was 11:59 p.m. and I was just about to hit 'send.' My eyes were just looking over at my phone when someone sneaked into the washroom. It was HIM! With a cake and lit candles in his hands.. smiling at me. My jaw just dropped. It's 12:00, and he is in my WASHROOM. Really? How did my family let this happen? I was just awe-struck. I stood there with my mouth open for a mere two minutes. He told me to follow him downstairs. I left everything as it is and just went downstairs.

Everyone was sitting with plates on the table, and ready to celebrate. We cut the cake together, and fed each other. It was still awkward. I just could not believe this was even happening! I mean, here I was.. thinking.. 'What a sad anniversary.. it's our first, and we are not even talking!' And there.. he just pops outta nowhere. He had set this up with my brother and they both hid it from me. I mean, how sweet is that? I am content with the feeling that I have not just one, but three best men in my life - my dad, my lovely brother, and my amazing boyfriend. Really.. I just feel blessed. It's times like these, when I think.. I am wasting my life away.. fighting over petty issues that mean NOTHING. Soon after cutting the cake, he handed me a lovely rose. I have collected all his roses over time. I have one since October of last year, the one I received on my birthday. I have over eight roses, and I never throw them away =)

He had come over for dinner two days ago. And that's when I sent him home with my gifts. I wanted to gift him on Monday because I thought I would be too busy with school to see him on this actual day. I kept it fairly simple, I photo framed a bunch of our best photographs, a card that conveyed my feelings and his favorite chocolates. He had bought back the same gift bag in which I gave him presents. For a second, I thought he is going to open them here because he probably hasn't seen them yet. But no, he's the eager kind. He can't wait for his presents. Instead, what do I find under the awesome red wax paper decoration? All FREAKIN' TEN SEASONS OF FRIENDS!

Okay, flashback. Does anyone remember my 'Guilty Pleasures' blog? The one I wrote a few days ago? The picture provides you with proof! Even though we don't call each other, or meet up, he still keeps up with my blogs. I had no idea he even read that. I was THRILLED to find out he would actually spend nearly $200 for my fav DVDs. It's not even about the money. It's about the research he did. The calls he made to HMV and Chapters and other places to find out who has a complete set of all ten seasons of Friends. I mean, people collect them over time. They invest in them monthly, or yearly. All ten seasons at once? This is awesome! Friends is so close to my heart, and I never go to sleep without watching an episode. And having these, will always remind me of this wonderful man I have in my life, that I actually don't deserve.

He was standing around at Fortinos, wondering what cake to get for me. He wanted to call my brother and ask about my favorite cake. Then, he asked himself.. "Here I am.. getting a cake for our first anniversary, and I don't even know what my girlfriend likes?" He thought about all the times I wanted to get chocolate/brownie/cheesecake desserts at every restaurant we went to. He got the most perfect cake - consisting of ALL the types of desserts I enjoy! He got a chocolate truffle, caramel cheesecake with brownies on top! There is nothing better than that. The best cake of my life! Especially, because I got to cut it with him in the presence of my family. I am really happy tonight =) Definitely took away all the sadness from the past many weeks.

My brother said, "All ten seasons of Friends? This guy's a keeper!" I blushed and giggled. I wish I had known he was coming, we would have taken pictures. I only have a blurry video as a memory. But at the same time.. I don't wish I would have known because then, it wouldn't have been an amazing surprise! I just wanna thank you.. soooo much.. for everything that you do. Despite the good, and the bad times, the ups and downs, the talking and non-talking, the loving and the not-so-loving times, I never once had a thought of letting this go. I feel it's an endless cycle of making up and fighting. But I am never letting it go anywhere. It's too precious. I love you with all my heart. Happy 1st Anniversary, my love. There is no one out there better than you. I don't know who can handle me like you do. Probably, no one. I am SO lucky to be yours. And, just yours =)
