Cuatro Anos

On this day in 2002 I was driving around one particular block in Salt Lake City trying to find a parking space & also the courage that had brought me to this moment. I think I circled that coffee shop 3 times before I managed to find both. I walked down the sidewalk & into the most wonderful, frightening, frustrating, joyful, insightful, exhilarating, exhausting, confusing & purposeful chapter of my life thus far.

I have my Joe to thank for that. He has allowed (& sometimes provoked) me to become the person that I knew I could be. He has embraced my insanity & has allowed me to enjoy his own. I could list one thousand & more of his qualities, but in the interest of subtlety & laziness I won’t bore anyone with that here. Suffice to say, a more perfect companion I could not imagine.

Thank you, Joe, for making the last 4 years matter & for joining me on my journey.
