It all begins with a walk...


When one hour slipped to two, then to three, and the sun set before we even knew it. When the second date started with the Taylor Swift test and ended with a kiss over the river. When a long distance Christmas meant we realized we wanted more. When friends definitely approved. When Preston asked Dan to be boyfriends five minutes before Dan could.


Our sushi dates. Our first apartment. Our decorating compromises. Our road trip playlists. Our walks around the lakes. Our family time. Our Pi Day pies. Our quiet reading together. Our picnics, indoor and out. Our first house. Our decorating compromises. Our date nights (and date brunches). Our plants. Our cats. Our (more) plants. Our cookbook adventures.


Here's to time with and as family. Here's to more recipes tried. Here's to game night competitions. Here's to midnight laughs. Here's to new bookshelves to fill. Here's to Taylor's next album. Here's to cups of tea and intimate conversation. Here's to circles of friends and forever Valentines and sunset beaches and meme exchanges and secrets shared and those looks when we know it's all just right and discovering anew each day why we love us as an us.


Here's to the walk of a lifetime.
