6 Years Today






6 Years Ago Today I met him.
I met the boy, I mean, guy, I mean, man that did all of those things that those perfect romantic comedies said that he will do.
All of the things happened that the Nora Ephrons and John Hughes' promised would happen.
He swept me off my feet.
There was unbelievably witty rapport.
There was awkward tension where we didn't know if we could actually have the level of relationship that we knew this was going to be.
He had to move to Nashville. I was living in L.A. and loving it.
Oh, the drama!
And I loved every minute of it... because I loved him.


Yes, 6 years ago today, we met.
And the story has continued.
It has evolved into about 642 films and song verses since then--mostly sweet, loving, romantic.
Some filled with sadness, fear, moments of being despondent.
But, overall, 6 years filled with lots of love with this person who has been my... everything.

My best friend
My partner
My co-DALLAS tv show fan
MY muse
My supporter
My healer
My puppy's daddy
My person who makes everything make sense
My soother
My sounding board
My surprise party all-in-one
My favorite moment
My family
My heart

I could not ask for more because I would not know what to ask for.
6 years is a long time.
And I am so, so grateful to have met him all those years ago today.
My life is filled with a whole new realm of colors outside my old Crayola box and I have him to thank for it.



Inevitably, people--and I mean everyone asks--what's next? When will you two get married? Have kids? Yada yada yada.
I don't know myself.
I'm not sure what will happen.
I wish I was.
But I am sure of the fact that I have had 6 years with a love-filled heart because of one person and I have become a much better person because of countless things he did that he didn't have to do.

So join us as we raise our glasses tonight in honor of 6 beautiful, love-filled years.
I am so incredibly grateful.
I know how blessed I would have been to have had even one day with this beautiful soul.
To have 6 is just icing on the cake---
and we all know how much I looove icing!

Happy Anniversary, Sugar!
