18 Months

So today, Darren and I celebrate 18 months of being together <3  It truly has been the most amazing time with him, and I'm absolutely grateful to have him in my life. He knows how to make me happy, laugh, and smile. He says the incredibly sweetest things to me, and I can tell in his voice and in his eyes he means every single word. Even though we have our arguments, he brings me back with his strong faith in our relationship. It truly is amazing when you have someone who cares about you more than they care about themselves, and that's how it is with the both of us. I really wish I could have seen him this weekend and spend all day tomorrow together. I honestly could not think of anything better than to be in his arms all day and his lips against mine. Instead, I will express 18 that I love about him.

1. He's so sweet that I get a sugar high from him. He would get it to the point that I'll end up crying because I'm so happy.
2. He's very supportive of me. Definitely my rock.
3. He accepts me for who I am. Never has he tried to make me do anything that I didn't want to.
4. He's a dork... And I am a sucker for dorks.
5. I find him to be very cute.... Especially when he blushes ;)
6. The cheesy pick-up lines he uses. Goes with the dork thing, but it's something particular that I like and I'm always guaranteed to smile.
7. His voice. I could listen to him for hours. I find it to be very soothing and get butterflies when he sings.
8. His faith in us. Never has he felt that it would never work out between us, and he does his hardest to make sure I have the same faith too.
9. His determination. The past couple of months, he has been working hard to pay for prom since his parents wouldn't help out. He never gave up even though there were obstacles in the way.
10. His arms. I love cuddling with him. I fit perfectly in his arms and it comforts me when he holds me.
11. The "dork" smile. It's what I call when he smiles so big that you can see all his teeth. I can't help but giggle when he does it.
12. The way he looks at me. I can see it in his eyes that he cares about me. It's so overwhelming at times.
13. His kisses. I'm absolutely 100% addicted to his kisses. I really can't get enough of them.
14. He knows when I'm feeling down, even without me saying anything. And he makes sure I tell him what's wrong sooner or later.
15. And when I do finally admit it, he comforts me. He calms me down and keep thinking about the positives.
16. We don't have to really talk. We're so comfortable with each other that we don't need to fill up every space with words.
17. Him talking about our future. He's so excited to be with me, and he has made many plans for us.

And the most important reason:
18. He's my best friend.

So, that's my list. I never imagined ever being with someone like him, and now that I do, I couldn't imagine ever being without him. I love you Darren Thorne, and I always will!
