One year ago today, I was trying to get a little sleep before my friend Chris drove me to SFO to hop on a plane to go see a girlfriend I had never met.

If you had asked me back then, "Do you still think you'll be together a year from now?", I probably would have told you of course. It still doesn't mean that I'm not endlessly happy that we are.

There's no way that I would have known how happy I'd be with so many other aspects of my life a year from then though. Things are looking really good. There's a really good chance I will be moving out of my parents house for the first time (and no the temporary 2 years at UC don't count). There is more music in my life and less meaningless stuff. There is nothing but hope and anticipation for the future.

Knowing her has impacted my life in so many positive ways. I know I'm a better person for it. I know we have both changed a whole lot in the last year.

This whole long distance thing across the border has been really hard at times. It's been completely worth it...most of the time

Seriously though, I am so grateful that my life is where it is right now. With any luck I will be moving up to San Francisco in the next couple of weeks, and at the end of the month she will be visiting me.

This is super rambly and I'm sorry for that. I'm so tired but I just thought that this day needed special mention.

Special shout out goes to Subrosa. You know why. Being a part of this site has really paid off for us, eh? And I remember meeting you before you were a minor internet celebrity.

This year was the most vivid, exciting, emotional, adventurous, happy, frustrating, beautiful, intense, real and alive year of my life. Here's to many more.
